Leaf-footed bugs go through five moults resulting in five instars before becoming an adult.  The nymphs moult as they grow, looking more like an adult each time.  I think they are most vulnerable during the actual moulting which usually take about 15 minutes or so.  First time seeing a failed moulting caused by a predator.  I welcome your C &C for improvements.

Nice capture Anthony, good to catch the predator action, crab spiders don't often pick a good angle/pose when with prey.
