Phormictopus sp. dominican purple

The striking difference in color from one molt to the other. Old carapace was laying there just right for a comparison. They really are going through changes in their "teenage years"...
Yeah! It must have molted while I was at work today. Finally!
By the time it is ready to molt next, it'll be mostly brown again. My big male Pamphobeteus is like that - ridiculously colorful and vibrant in the weeks following a molt, to almost the color of mud by the end of the molt cycle. It's cool to see the change, though!

I agree! Makes having them more fun. Besides: It's not like I didn't love the way it looked before. Golden carapace and red bootyhair... almost miss it now. ;P
