I just saw this morning that my L2? cryptic had molted and now after work one of my two L3 ghosts have also molted. How long should I wait before feeding/misting these guys again. Since there is two ghosts in one cup should I wait until the second one molts? Now that they've molted do I add a number to the L ? lol sorry, gotta find out somehow

 
THey probably won't eat until the next day after molting. You can mist them right away if you want. Just don't mist them while they're molting unless you know that they're stuck (which is probably too late already).

 
They usually do not eat for 1 to 2 days after a molt, they will act the same as they did before it. Striking at the food and running away scared. The hatching stage is l1 or 1st instar, the first molt is l2 or 2nd instar, the second molt is 3 and so on! Seperate them soon, they do not need a buddy! :lol:
