[QUOTE="Ocelotbren, post: 308128, member: 9728"] I have four ghosts that I purchased at L2/L3...or so I thought. One girl is ahead of the others in molting and she was due to molt to sub-adult anytime now. I came home Sunday to see that she had molted...and that she was drying out her wings! Oops? I guess I was off by one in their instars all along. Coming home to a new adult was very unexpected but also really exciting. I guess when I thought I was getting L2/L3s it was actually L3/L4s. Ghosts are adult at L8, right? In which case I was indeed off by one the whole time. This was my first time raising ghosts, and with their abdomens folded back I didn't even see the wing buds, not that I thought I needed to be looking yet. Now that I've corrected my molting logs for everyone, it's time to gear up for some more adults in the next couple months!
