My male rosie just recently had his ultimate molt.
Since then, he's got this weird posture that he hangs around in a lot, and it puzzles me.
He stands up on his tip-toes, similar to the way he does when he's got a cricket in his mouth, but with legs a bit further out, and raises his abdomen way up in the air, so that his body has sort of a diagonal angle to it. Picture a hotrod car with the back end jacked up - it reminds me of that. His spinnerettes are tucked away against his abdomen, so it doesn't look like he's making a sperm web.
Anybody seen this before?
Puzzled and curious,
Scott Case
