[QUOTE="danl82, post: 332126, member: 10677"] You can't account for them being stupid. My Heirodula venosa finally had her adult moult today. Decided to do it 2 inches from the bottom of the cage 😑. Despite having a large mesh cage, with plenty of sticks etc. Always moulted from the top before. When I got home from work found her on the bottom with just her hind legs still in the exuviae, they slipped out okay but I think she'd been too long in that position too long and hadn't pumped the fluid around her body. Right now she's trying to inflate her wings but I think it's too late. It's so frustrating. Well I'll ppst pics if she makes it. [/QUOTE]
