Molting

[HempKnight]

Hey. I was just curious about how mantids molt. I know tarantulas turn over on their backs and look like they about to die. I have looked for pictured but I haven’t found any too great. Maybe someone can post some. I just don’t know what to expect. Thanks!

Great video! That's really funny how he has his molt stuck to his leg at the end. (I hope his leg is ok )
