Developmental stage of insect between each moult (ecdysis)

Any of the stages in the development of a holometabolous larva; the first instar is the physical form of the larva between its eclosion from the egg and its first molt, etc.

an insect stage between molts; molting is growth.

The stage of a caterpillars development between moults. Depending on the species, a caterpillar can have 4, 5, or 6 instars.

a young insect between two ecdyses or moults. A newly-hatched insect is called a first-instar caterpillar. Caterpillars of most butterflies have five or six instars.

The period of a larva's life between moults of it's skin. Most butterflies have 5 instars. The final instar is sometimes referred to as the pupa (6th instar).

One of the stages of growth in the life of a Caterpillar. At the end of each stage, having reached the limit of the elasticity of its skin, it sheds the outer skin layer, having grown a potentially larger skin underneath. Often the coloration and/or pattern of the skin of each instar is different from the previous one. Most caterpillars go through [..]
