Just thought I would share a short video of one of my M. lambertoni singing to me .. well, stridulating 

Poor move my friend. You will get again in future for sureI miss my girls...![]()
They actually stridulate by rubbing their hind legs together, as you can see in the video. These legs have special bristles.Are the stridulatory hairs on the chelicerae or the legs? I would guess the chelicerae, since her palps are barely touching the legs
The stridulating bristles/organs of this species are found at the base of palp (outer) and the base of leg 1 (inner) you can see them in the video.They actually stridulate by rubbing their hind legs together, as you can see in the video. These legs have special bristles.![]()
I have a pretty rough idea. But seeing as a family friendly forum I best not sayHmmm I wonder what she would say if we could translate that?![]()
