Evening All, Well early morning, I did not realize what the time was, I still thought it was 16th. shocked

As per normally routine :P , yesterday evening at around 22:30, I went to check on my spiders and lock everything up after being out for the day.
On checking the on spider, I saw my A. geniculata with her legs tuck under her, I automatically thought that she was in death curl, so I gave the glass tap with my knuckle, and she jump back to being a spider.

But something still looked funny with her, she was a bit see through, and she had something in her fangs.
She had molted out and was in the process of "chewing" on her molt.

I took some photo's.
I also took a video, but before I could get it set up properly the battery went flat so I got a couple of seconds but not worth uploading.

A couple of photo's.

Very nice pics! My L parahybana has chewed each and every molt since the size of about 3cm. I've never been able to get a usable molt out :huh:
