ZBD Grooming...

Sunday, 06 August 2006

ZBD sits by the side of her enclosure, and grooms herself. Note how the legs curl underneath her, and reach back to clean the undersides of the spinnerets. This back leg movement is completely different to that used to flick urticating hairs at a threat source. The whole cleaning process usually lasts around an hour.
