So I'm still learning. Everyday. 

But here I am months into caring for a sexed pair of panthers, and while I see wing buds on my male, How can I tell if my female is sub or even matured? Do female panthers have wings, or even vestigial wings?

I'm not even sure about instars. According to the molts counted after acquiring them, and the instar wasnt 100pct when I acquired them, my male is i7 and the female ought to be i9. 

Please halp! 🤪

 
SO yes they do. Winglets.  It's like i'm thinking aloud in here. LoL.

So i'm hoping these swell up soon.

(and yes, I guess my eyes have gotten bad enough that I have to zoom in with a DSLR to get a really good look)
