I've seen several different schematics of tarantula anatomy, but never have I seen one that detailed or talked about the pressure relief valves found on either side of the patellas.
I have seen hemolymph "bled" from these points just before a shed, during an event of extreme stress or physical exertion, and in older (senior citizen) tarantulas.
Does anyone know what these are called or know where I can find a paper or essay about these?
