Nymphs hatching schedule?

[Butterfly]

I just hatched some Stagmomantis Limbatas and have a couple Chinese Nymphs, Im wondering about when do these guys shed? Every 4 weeks or what?

Any help is appreciated, Ive been searching the forum for days for this subject and finally gave up and posted my own.

They will molt when they do. There is no set time. First molt should be done by 4 weeks. Probably more like two or so.

Ok Thanks.

I just didnt know if it would be 2 weeks, then 2 weeks from there and so on. All the Mantids I caught in the wild last year were already adults. The 2 females I caught even laid ooths within the first month of me catching them. So those are the nymphs I have now, Im just hoping the religiosa ooth hatches. She was my favorite!!

Hopefully they do. Keep in mind that the european nymphs are not easy to raise.
