[QUOTE="PowerHobo, post: 319781, member: 10878"] I seem to be observing this a nymph delaying a molt due to injury, but as my control group is pretty small, and my experience is extremely limited, I figured I'd just ask if others can confirm this. I would assume this is done due to the extra energy required to heal/regenerate the damaged body part. One of my ghosts had a leg torn off by one of its broodmates, and seems to be doing ok (still active, still feeding), but has yet to molt, while all 3 of its broodmates in my possession have since molted [I]twice[/I]. Definitely a little strange for me to have an L2 nymph not molt for over a month. [/QUOTE]
