Can someone explain the whole nymph, L1 to LX, subadult, adult thing to me?

L1 is when they just hatch because the little white things are skin so thats their first shed. L2 is the next shed after that and so on.

SEARCH IT UP!!!

But to save you the time...

As hatchlings, they are called L1. Once they molt once, they are called L2. Molt twice, L3. Thrice, L4. And on it goes.
