The transformation of this praying mantis as it molts its old skin is amazing to watch. This hyperlapse photography was shot by @krypticmantids. I can't believe how much larger the Mantis becomes after molting. It must have been such a relief to burst out of the tight layer of skin. Its blue and yellow coloring is ethereal looking as well.
