I went to Molly's (my cockroach's) cage today and lifted up the log that she's usually under.. and I about jumped in the air, I was pretty startled. She must have molted last night, because she suddenly got huge! I mean.. not huge like her full growth huge, but quite measurably bigger. Her coloring changed too! I'm just so used to my pets getting gradually bigger as they get older that it was really strange to have her grow just all of a sudden. At the same time it was very awesome (especially because I just took a test in Entomology so I had study all about how molting works). Will post a picture in a moment (EDIT: here it is: [link]).

It's also sad because poor little Michael isn't there to grow with her. :( He was the tiny one, too..
