What a catch!
Nice to be there at the right time. It would be nice to add the times of each picture if you have them. I can't figure out how long the whole thing takes. The change is so dramatic, hard to believe that this nymph is the instar just before adult.

Time line for molt
When I first noticed the molting bug (photo posted here) it was 4:05pm. By 4:17 the molt was complete. By 4:49 the color is darkening and the bug has begun to walk away from the shed. The latest photo posted here is at 5:24 by which time the exoskeleton has darkened considerably though not totally.

The emerged form here is I believe the last instar before adult. The change between the two shown here is much greater than the change between this one and the adult.
