How many molts for R. megaera?

[PowerHobo]

I tried searching this on the forum but couldn't find anything. Was kind of surprised there isn't already a dedicated caresheet.

My male (90% sure) R. megaera molted to L6 last night but is still surprisingly tiny, so I was just curious how many molts there might be left to increase size.

Both genders should usually require 10 molts until adulthood. From my offspring the males reached adulthood at about the same times as females.

Excellent, so still plenty of time to grow! This molt took a solid 5.5 weeks, so it should be interesting to see how long the rest take lol. Thank you for the information!
