11 days between molts seem ridiculously

Hi guys. my little bingus (asian shield mantis - Rhombodera latipronotum) is not so little anymore. bingus has molted to l4 in may 30. l5 in june 20. and now l6 july 1. i was wondering if anybody could provide me some insight as the ‘cooldown’ between molts seem ridiculously low, even under ‘optimal’ conditions. i’m from the uk and obviously it’s been warmer these past few weeks for a bit of context.

premolt?

circled in case difficulty seeing.
wondering if she is premolting, she’s been hanging upside down n hardly ever moving for about 3-4 days now. last time i fed her was 3 days ago and as u can tell she still looks super plump. legs r positioned fairly loose and raptorials held close to her body. haven’t tried to feed her as i didnt want to disturb her especially since she looks full still. looked at her just now and seemingly flinched at nothing? but other than that she’s only turned around or walked a couple steps from that current position over the last few days. also can provide clearer photos, this one ain’t clear cos i didn’t want to flash her. thanks in advance
