[QUOTE="sk8erkho, post: 40974, member: 738"] This morning around 1:39 am I was honored to be awake and alert enough to witness my first molt from the beginning stages. Usually I catch a glimpse after the process is just about complete where maybe 90-98% of the mantid's body is free. While watching. it appears this little guy may be in trouble at some point or perhaps that's just the appearance at this stage of the molt. It like, busts through at the wings and slowly wiggles the upper body and head slowly out somehow towards the back but no movement at the legs just yet. The entire abdomen was still mostly within the old exo. So, as usual I will just keep an eye on it to be safe. My question is this, how may of you would jump at the opportunity to assist your mantid through a possible mismolt if you could? How do you decide when is the right moment to step in? How many of you have in the past successfully assisted your mantid out of a trouble spot? [/QUOTE]
