The story I'm writing is taking my "heroes" into Xiticix Territory and I can't find any research into their growing habits.
The Xiticix Invastion describes the hive structure overall, but I was looking into canon info before I rewrote their hierarchy, status, tribes, and inner conflicts.

So what if I don’t know what apocalypse means? It’s not the end of the world!
Re: How often to Xiticix Molt?
I can't even remember mention of this, was it added in Invasion somewhere?

Not sure XI has any growing info or not, but one thing i cna say is that hierarchy is well documented, im not sure what you mean by “status”, there are no “tribes” (just Hives), and individual Hives have no inner conflicts of any kind. The Hives are not allied, and will conflict with each other (to the point of wiping each other out) if there isnt room to expand. But this is a non-issue on Rifts Earth where there is plenty of room.
Im loving the Foes list; it's the only thing keeping me from tearing out my eyes from the dumb.

There is a part that describes how quickly they grow to maturity, but no references to them molting.

there is no reference to Moulting/Ecdysis for the Xiticix, and since the Grubs seems to gain shells and more adult feature as they grow into Nits, it is likely they are an Incomplete Metamorphosis species, which do not pupate, but rather the larval young grow directly into adults, gaining more adult features over time.
