our mantises would literally seal themselves in their lairs for a few days to molt.  we actualy lost one of them due to a "bad" molt, which is not uncommon in an older male mantis.

we've had various shrimp that would molt (about) monthly, while others molted less.

I just love watching mine. The clowns are still unsure of him..LOL. If he touches them as they swim by it freaks them out. Sometimes he'll venture over to "their" corner to try and get a feel in  :D It's like it's a game.....
