These are beneficial insect that eat organic matter...nothing to worry about. If you run out of OM matter then they'll eat the roots...but thats a good 100 years away imo

Is it normal for a plant to start out with 5 leaves and eventually have seven?

If it’s in its genetic make up then yes all strains have different traits it’s looking fine .

Yes then later in its life it can show 3 and 5 blades instead of the 5 n 7+..i think the plant does this so it has a good start in the first place...its a genetic thing...

Now theres a micr nute deficiency that causes the top of the plants leaves to start growing smaller. Cant remember wich one...molybdenum maybe...this also can happen if the plant is pot bound from what ive seen so far
