P.Irmina Molting

[bluerich74]

I caught my little P.irmina just as it went on its back and I was able to watch the entire molt.This pic was taken midway through.

The molt was finished but the spider was still on its back when I had to leave for work.This is how it looks this morning.Its about 3 to 3 1/2" now.

I have beautiful one of these that molted a couple weeks ago. It is pure velvety black with the orange and black stripes on its abdomen. It ate a large cricket last night that was almost as big as it is (except for the long legs) and today it is so big its abdomen is shiny. This one doesn't eat as much or as often as my other spiders after a molt like I thought it would. It is pretty reclusive as well.
