Leslie, that is exactly what happens when the BST I pictured started. It was moving and jerking when I first noticed it. I looked closer and saw a tear in the outer skin beginning at the back of it's head. It went though a lot of movement but it was over so quick! It was like a kid you told they could go swimming if they hurried and changed clothes! LOL!

Here is a pic of a few of the BST first instar, so you know what to look for Makshi. But I think it may be getting too late for them to lay anymore eggs this year.
