| The gap between molts can vary wildly based on temperatures and feeding.
So I'd say it's going to molt shortly after it looks really really fat. | |

| You'll need some patience in this hobby. It took my first emp over a year to molt and he was ~3rd instar, IIRC | |

| Somehow when I got my B. jacksoni and L. quinquestratus in quantities of five, there was a "runt" in each species which took 1-2 months extra to molt even though they were from the same brood. Well... The LQ "runt" hasn't molted yet, but he's noticabely smaller than the other four. | |
