or did i got my records all screwed up? think iom gonna measure them again!

 

[quiz]

Alex mentioned on venomlist list that none of his P.transvaalicus ever matured at 7th instar, all at 6th instar but some of his females pushed all the way to 8th instar so it maybe possible that males can mature at 7th instar.
