L2 ~14mm, L3 ~19mm, L4 ~25mm, L5 ~ 30mm, give or take a 1 or 2 mm depending on the mantis for each Instar. But those are around the measurements I get pretty consistently. These are approximations from my Chinese mantises from last year. They tend to grow abut 5mm in the early instars and in the later ones they grow about 10mm with each molt.
