She had been hanging from the very top of the enclosure, which is unusual, so I kept an eye out for a molt. The problem with documenting something like this is you need to be able to change the angle to get the camera positioned properly and you have no control over where they molt. Luckily this molt was from a removable lid. Once it started I was able to manipulate the lid to adjust for shots from all angles and at different magnification using the techniques I picked up documenting mantis molts. I saw it as a chance of a lifetime so tried my best to capture as much of the process in as much detail as possible. It was very rewarding to witness myself and a dream to be able to share.It's turned out to be my most lucrative video, not that I've made very much, but more than any other video. Never expected any of that. I was just happy to be able to see the details of such an intimate process.Got some photos too.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/FXt8yGE.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
