Oh my god -- is it dead??

Thien gives Kael these cool bugs but sometimes forgets to tell me important things about them. Things that I should know and when I bring it up in a panic, he always says: "Oh yeah. They do that. I forgot to tell you about that." Ugh!

One morning I came downstairs and saw the leaf insect hanging upside down. My first thought: "Oh sh*t -- it's dead!! How the heck did it die?! I gotta get that thing out of there before Kael sees it!"

I take a closer look and it starts moving. Then I realize it's not dead at all.


It's shedding.

Pretty cool, huh?
