Hello again. I posted a couple days ago that my beloved female Carolina wolf spider passed. I had it planned to preserve her in acohol (Read that 80%-90% alcohol was recommended for spiders, but can only find 70%), but every time I pick up the container she's in, some part of her moves. Sometimes, it's a leg or two, other times it's her pedipalps or even a mix of all of them. Not to mention, when I first found her in her enclosure, some of her legs were curling while others were straight out and I found her on her back. Since she has been in the new container, all of her legs are now sticking straight out. I have been waiting to make sure she has truly passed before going forward with the preservation. Is it normal for a large deceased spider to continue moving after passing? Below is a picture for reference. Thanks in advance. Update: She moved her fangs a little bit ago. First time she has done that since before I removed her from her enclosure. Does any one know what could be going on?
