Germans say "FH 9", English it's "L9" - all the same though, 9th instar, yes.if im not mistaken, L9 is the same "over there" as 9i here right? im no expert with metallicas, but for good measurement MOST pokies are around 1" at 2i ... (or L2 for you) hope somebody can clarify ... Imo, a 9i pokie would be close enough to adult, if not there already.
