Centipede molting pics - in sequence

[HerCrenVie]

I spent the better part of last night watching this absolutely fascinating sight. This was my first centipede to moult in my care. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the entire process since it was already 3.30 in the morning when I took these photos.

Just about to moult:

Emergence:

Phenomenal pink and blue colouration, too bad it didn't last:

Maxillipeds almost fully regenerated:

Lovely blue eyes:

Amazing colour:

Lastly, what I saw this morning:

I had to let her eat it. Centipedes always eat their exuvia after moulting in order to regain some energy.
