Sunflowers

I am ready to see some molting action! I wish I had a time-stop camera to increase my likelihood of catching the moment, but I don't. If the weather were warmer, I'd probably carry my box with me all over the place until I can watch the event. My thoughts are turned to molting because Crawly is nearly as big as the sunflower seeds he's been sucking down on. (Hm...I need to clarify the difference between siphoning and sucking; the terms are tricky.) Chibi has been spending a lot of time at the seeds today too! I'm thinking that having a good supply of seeds is really important in the life cycle of these bugs. I read some forum posts of people complaining that their bugs aren't growing, and I can't help but wonder if the bugs aren't getting enough to eat. Ever since I changed the seeds, it seems like the growth of both bugs have been much greater.
