Molt time lapse (8x speed)

I took this video of Clint when she molted to adult a few weeks ago and just got around to editing it together last night. Thought you guys might like to see.

Cool. I wish I had the patients to do something like this. What happened to the ending?

She was scrambling for a foothold so I turned off the camera and stacked toilet paper beside her lol. Ended up taking a fall anyway, maybe I spooked her, but she's fine today. I think having a time lapse of her drying out would be cool, but also really long.

Very cool! At 0:40 and 1:28, I was getting a little anxious for your mantid. And at 1:35, it looked like another creature entirely!

You should make more! This was such an eye-opener.
