Finally figured out a good way to taxidermy a tarantula. This Phormictopus Cancerides died in transport to me, so I decided to try and preserve her, without wet preserving. I don't think wet preserved specimens look the best, so I wanted to figure out how to do it dry. I ended up cutting the bottom of the abdomen open, stuffing it full of cotten, and supergluing it shut. I then pinned out the legs, spinnerets, and pedipalps in the position I wanted. After about a month of drying time, this is the final result. I'm pretty happy!
