Congratz! Give it at least 24 hours its wings have expanded so it can dry. Other wise, they may move and not fold properly.

Nice! and yeah dude its frickin amazing how large they are when they emerge from their old skin.

Gave it 24 hours to dry up (molted yesterday), its about 3 inches in length. Sorry again for the poor quality, I will be getting a camera in the future.
