I've thought about posting something about this before, but without a pic to confirm it I was a little concerned I might be thought of as mad! I've noticed with various species, both burrowing and arborial. that after moulting a tarantula will hug its old exoskeleton like a comfort blanket! After a few hours this is then discarded. Does anyone know why this is? My T. apophysis moulted out in the open on Saturday so I was able to get some evidence!!
