[QUOTE="Ocelotbren, post: 313717, member: 9728"] My four ghosts that I assume came from the same ooth or at least a very similar hatch time (purchased them at the same instar at the same time) differed quite a bit in their growing: 9/17/17 - First female molted to adult 11/3/17 - First male molted to adult 11/22/17 - Second male molted to adult 12/2/17 - Second female molted to adult Needless to say, I was very surprised when that first female molted to adult so soon! They were all kept in the same conditions though so variation between siblings can be quite large. Not sure about Creobroters specifically but in general as mantids get older, the females get wider abdomens than the males. But the segment counting method is still the most reliable method. [/QUOTE]
