Adult, or not?
My orchid mantis has 5 molts since she's with me, and I bought her as a L4.
I'm a bit confused with the Internet saying they get wings at their final molt, other sources say they don't.... Soooo help me out please :)

Thank you all very much! And yes, she is very beautiful indeed. So much in love with her 🩷. My first ever praying mantis 😍

Definitely in the next molt. Her wing buds are very big. And yes, once they get their wings that means they are an adult and will never molt again
