It took more than an hour to complete the molting process. At first I thought that this guy is sleeping upside down, because it's keep ignoring me even if I try to get so close. So I carefully set up my camera and tripod near it, and started the observation.
hmm..., hanging upside down while spinning. I keep my camera on and after a while, wow...it started to stretched down and shed it's skin slowly started from the head part followed by the mandible, abdomen, legs and boom a shinny new spider suit.
