Molting

A few months back, we took a trip to the Oregon Zoo. See #5 from our Junary trip. We learned that spiders will shed their exoskeletons, much like a snake molts. They had examples of large tarantellas. I didn't know that before our visit.

This morning I discovered a spider skeleton near the pool. The kids were able to find others. I think I've seen these exoskeletons before and just assumed that it was a dead, decayed spider.
