🔍 How They’re Sexed
Manduca sexta pupae are sexed by examining abdominal segments:
-
Male: Small raised slit/opening higher on abdomen
-
Female: Larger oval opening lower on abdomen
(If you want, I can generate a clean sexing reference graphic for product listing use.)
⏳ Development Timeline
-
Pupae typically eclose (emerge) in 2–4 weeks
-
Warmer temps (75–80°F) speed emergence
-
Cooler temps (65–70°F) slow development
Do not refrigerate unless intentionally delaying emergence (short-term only).
