Do Huntsman Leg Positions Mean Anything?
Howdy, spider experts and enthusiasts! As a recovering arachnophobe, I find myself having a curiosity about Huntsman spiders. There's one currently living in my home, which I've named Harry. Harry spends most of their time sprawled on my walls, very visibly. Their legs are often in various positions - sometimes the front legs are closer together and more towards the front of the body, while the back and middle legs are spread out individually. Sometimes middle and back legs are closer together spread towards the back of the body, and the front are the same but toward the front. Sorry - this is hard to describe. Sometimes all legs are close together creating a semi-U formation.
My question is, do the various resting positions signal anything about the spiders' state/feeling. Are they relaxed, comfortable, on alert?
