After flipping on its back, this tarantula called the Theraposa Stirmi or the Burgundy Goliath lay in one place for a very long time. It wriggled out of its old exoskeleton, popped off the top of its head and pulled its body out. A new exoskeleton was revealed, thus completing the process of molting.
