Incredible! What specific device did you use?
 
@ccTroi I got an off brand stereo dissecting scope from AmScope. It doesn't even have a brand name on it, lol. The trick to dealing with tiny molts is to have instruments that don't tear them up and allow you to untangle the abdomenal area. I use toothpicks with the ends broken off. The shards of wood are fine and flexible, making excellent probes for small delicate things.
