I thank you for taking the time to answer me. But i have been through moltings before and this doesn't look anything like it. I apologize for not thinking to include that info when I posted my question.

Have you seen them at the point where the blood pressure is rising to split the old exoskeleton off?

Im going to have to hang my head and say, No. There have always been other signs though, and I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary until this morning.

But I'm going to take your word for it because you probably know a heck of alot more than I do.

Thank You
