Awesome sequence of pics, pretty fascinating! That video is classic :eek:

Any news?

Thanks for the kind words!

I'll get some ASAP! Charlie is now up and trying to escape the container already, so no worries there. I have been squinting at the exuvium a lot and yup, like Plessey stated, some magnification would be nice haha! Pretty awesome, funny how there's this sense of honor and patronage after a...
