An L.P. that doesn't like to share

I was feeding my LP (about 2.5" and eating like a machine) a dubia and it didn't seem interested. So I came back a while later and I grabbed the dubia with some tweezers and as I was about an inch or two off the ground, my LP hopped on that roach before I could even blink an eye. I just think it was being selfish and didn't want to see another tarantula with that delicious dube. Just thought I'd share.

My B. albopilosum did something weird last night when I fed her.

I drop a cricket in there, and after she catches it, she walks around with it as usual. She drops it, turns around, and starts to put webbing on it with the spinerettes. Then she turns around again, picks it back up, and resumes eating. I've never seen one of my T's do that before :?
