Wanna see her take it all off?

The terrarium shelf lights popped on today and I finally got to watch one of my spiny flower mantids during a molt, I believe it's a female. woo woo!

Here's some pics:


Finally, leg petals!

And here she is in her shiny new paint job, I didn't mist her, the fresh exo is naturally glossy!
