What Classifies a Mantis as Subadult

[Mantis Man13]

So what does?

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Larger wing buds.

 

[MantisGirl13]

The stage immediately before adulthood, where the mantis has genitals that are starting to take on the shape of a mature mantid's, usually larger wingbuds, that swell with the developing wings in the week before the molt.

Like how many molts before adulthood though? One or two?

 

[MrGhostMantis]

One. Sub-adult is the last stage before adult.

Like how many molts before adulthood though? One or two?

One molt before adult is subadult, two molts before adult is pre-sub or presubadult.
