How can you tell when your beetle larva is gonna molt?

Can someone tell me how to tell when a dynastidae beetle larva is about to molt? I'm waiting for mine to molt, so, I just wanted to know....

Well I keep stag beetle larvae and i think they molt the same way.
they just go on they're backs and bend like a C.

The color will change a bit if I remember correctly. They'll be more yellowish until they molt and then they'll be the standard white color again.

My beetle seems to be doing that right now, because I took a pic of it today, and then I compared it to the pics I took a week and a half ago. Difference: The one I took today was NOT the ordinary whitish coloration that the pic I took 1 1/2 weeks ago.
