Waxing Gibbous Moon!!!

(Restating the question as "What phase of the Moon follows 'waning gibbous'?) The phase of the Moon which follows 'Waning Gibbous' is 'Last Quarter'. The Gibbous phases are the periods when the Moon is more than 50% illuminated. Waxing being the period when it is approaching Full, and Waning being the period after Full, but before 'Last Quarter'. See Wikipedia entry for "Lunar Phase"
The phase of the moon that comes after the third quarter is the waning crescent. It appears as a small sliver of light on the left side of the moon.

It is the "waning crescent" phase.
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards the new moon phase.
