"
The reproductive instar is not interested in food. Only in sex ;-)
Adult Collembola have a moulting sequence from reproductive instar to feeding instar to reproductive instar to feeding instar etc. So every 2 moults adult Collembola regain virginity ;-) It also means that adult Collembola males produce spermatophores every 2 moults. And females lay eggs every 2 moults. Inbetween reproduction instars they feed. So also only every 2 moults."
