As you can guess 'yes I am bored'

So when does a Mantis Nymph become a mantis ????

When does a spiderling become juvenile ????

When does a juvenile become a sub adult ????

When does a sub adult become an adult ????

Are there any hard and fast rules ????

Cheers

Chris

A mantis nymph is always a mantis I'd say about L3-L4 they're mini adults.

Spiderling (for me) becomes juvenile when it gets adult colours
juvenile becomes sub adult when its about 2 or 3 moults from adult size.
Sub adult becomes adult when it's approx adult size and can successfully produce offspring. Or in a male, when they get hooks and/or emboli.

No hard or fast rules, thats just how i use it
