(not sure if this is right place, but couldn't think of anywhere else)
Weird thing just happend. I was all out of tiny crickets for my babies, so I decided to cut up some bigger crickets. Never done that before, so I was amazed about what happend.
I cut the head off and the back legs too. Divided it among the babies. I gave the body to my A. versicolor. It was still twitching at that point.When I looked again half an hour later, it was still moving! And not just twitching, but it actually looked as if it was trying to free itself from the web. At one point it fell out of the web and kept moving around.
Then the spider grabbed it and ate it. Wonder how long the cricket had moved around if it hadn't been eaten.
How does this happen? (know things move for a little while after the die, but this took about 45 minutes).
