🔍 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).
