Hey guys,

So my rhombodera L4 isnt molting.. It's pushing a week behind the others which are already L5... It shows no sign of a molt but I've noticed this species doesn't really till a few hours before. Is this normal?

 
I have a ghost that molts weeks past its siblings and it's a runt. I don't know if something similar could be happening with your rhombos.

 
Like HungryGhost, I have seven ghost mantises that were all hatched at the same time. Four are L7's, and three are L5's. ;) So yours is probably fine.
