Deroplatys desiccata instar?

[Andyfrog321]

Can anyone take a good guess at what instar my Deroplatys desiccata is on?

I think when I bought It, It was on L5/L6 (that's what the dealer told me).

I think I has moulted 2 times and It definitely not adult and nowhere near the size It would be at sub adult.

It's about 2 inches ( when body is spread out, not counting legs)

Here's the latest video of It:

hmm, judging by her wingbuds, i'd have to say she is probably L6 or L7 now

But It's only 2".

This species gets up to almost 5".

Can It really get 3 more inches in two molts?

That is an exaggeration. Most I have seen are about 3.5".

So beautiful but the poor thing looks so terrified.

my popa was barely 2 inches at subadult

they can really gain size during the last 2 molts

She's a presub, meaning two more molts. The desiccata I've had are around 9 cm, not even close to 13 cm. They do have the strongest forelegs I've ever felt, beating any Rhombodera or Hierodula.
