Molting Frequency.

[Litleape]

Ok so Iv spent a lot of time looking through the forums to see if I could find the answer to this but I can't so I am just going to ask. How often do nymphs molt? I have L3 Orchids who last molted on 07/08 and 07/09. I wasn't expecting them to molt for a couple weeks but they both just stopped eating 3 days ago. It has only been 9-10 days, could they be getting ready to molt again? Thanks for all your help!

sounds like a molt is due,

There is no way to really answer that. Molting depends on many factors. Somebody may be able to give you a general time frame, but it all depends on the conditions.

Not sure about orchids, but my ghosts molt like every 2-3 weeks.
