Up there on the 'creepy' scale, but a great sequence. Well spotted & stellar work as always!

Nice shots, but very creepy.

Very nice! Although spiders with eight legs are creepy enough. 16 is just gross.

Incredible! And very creepy. Fantastic as usual! Thanx for posting. ;-)

Brilliant sequence. How long was the molting sequence, hours or minutes?

Thank you, gooner. The whole sequence in the animated gif took only about 20 minutes. I left shortly after that.

Thanks, John.
