So my violin mantis Asgore moulted into adulthood and he looks amazing - he is about 8cm long now!

But now, onto the question - my spiny flower mantis also chose to moult yesterday. He is now about 2cm long and, as far as I am aware, in his L6 moult. From what I've read online, it would appear that male spinys only get 6 moults - does this mean that this next moult is his last one? 

 
Congrats on the molt! Can we see a pic of your spiny flower?

Thank you! I actually just disturbed him for the first time to get some photos, so here they are:

I'm thinking he is a subadult as I can see his wingbuds in the second photo with what I assume is the colouration that will form the wonderful colours on their wings. I could be wrong though!
