Euathlus sp. red stance

[Ratmosphere]

Is this stance normal for a terrestrial? I've never seen it before.

 

[Toxoderidae]

it's a hunting stance I believe.

Looks like stretching after a moult. They can be seen doing this occasionally for weeks after a moult.

It's typical after a molt. Only like 1% of the time have I observed this in my E sp Reds or E sp Yellow that was already hardened after a molt. Extremely rare IME.

Caught my A. geniculata doing the same thing after she moulted, perfectly normal.View media item 38104
