First Witnessed Molt

[ZoeRipper]

Well guys, last night I was able to watch one of my Egyptians molt from start to finish.

It's such an interesting process!

Of course I took like a million pictures, but I am not on my own personal computer due to brand new limitations, thanks to Mom in Law. Lovely woman. :angry:

Anyhoo, once I can get back on to my own comp I will upload pics and show them all to you!

Just thought I'd post this

It made my day.

The wonder of it never ceases to amaze and delight me! Glad you finally got to see it.

My sentiments, exactly. Never gets old. And since I've already taken lots of pics, I usually just enjoy it by watching.

I came here to post a link to a really cool time-adjusted video of mantids molting, and then found you guys talking about - guess what - molting! The coolest thing about this video is that there's more than one nymph in the shot, so the before-and-after size comparison is striking.
