First instar. I raised them last year and ended up with eight coccoons, They all emerged with four of them being females. There siblings will ignore the pheromones coming from the female so I had to but here in a cage so wild males could mate with her, and protect them because they can stay attached for a couple of days. These will eat a steady diet of crab apple leaves then coccoon near the end of august.
