I've been having fun on my uni microscopes, and decided to take a closer look at a tarantula molt. So I take a look at the mouth part and found that there are actually what looks like 'grinding appendages'' under each set of fangs that must help with the grinding and mashing up of their food or it could be stridulating organs but I've never known Golden knees to do that , that must be that weird movement when they move their fangs in and out. I don't know if any one has seen this before, I surely haven't, I don't think its as visible on a living tarantula. Would love to hear your feedback!
