I should have been more clear! I don't think anything is wrong with her at all, I was just wondering what makes that fleshy red/pink color, since in humans that color is cause by blood in capillaries etc. I have to assume in spiders it's that color for a reason other than being "flushed", if that makes sense.
Its the color of setae around the mouth parts so not blood (hemolymph) circulation youre seeing.
