If I'm not mistaken once they reach their final molts with full wing sets they are in final stage...adults! At this point the female will start laying eggs after reaching adulthood in a few weeks and the male will then be far more interested in her "in that way!!" You,know...like,"oohh,la,la you're lookin mighty nice tonight!" and then BAM!!! He leaps on her back and is ready to do the wild thing!!!!!

I have bred this species for the last two years or so, and have never counted the instars to adulthood. The one thing i do know is they have the same amount of moults to adulthood. My guesstamation would be 7 moults altogether.
