Wolf Spider Molt
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 29 Dec 2012
My little pet wolf spider has molted into her adult size. I was lucky that I got my camera set up just in time. This video is set at 7x normal speed. The full molt took about 20 minutes to complete - followed by an array of stretching exercises. At this speed it is easier to see that her entire body pumps in a bit of a cycle which is not as noticeable at normal speed. Not only is this my first time witnessing an entire molt by a wolf spider, but I managed to get it on video too! And now you guys can enjoy seeing it! Well, those of you who appreciate these animals may enjoy it anyway.
