Check out this beetle mimic jumping spider (found in KY)
She keeps her front two legs raised to look like mandibles or antenna. Jumping spiders are amazing.

Mo, the Jumping spider, who has entered his surly TWEEN phase. His Oscar the grouch black bandana strip over his eyes is sending me 🤣
I had a coughing fit and apparently that was very interesting 😂
Some spiders can engineer some pretty amazing webs! 🕸️
Meet the Australian ballista spider. This arachnid diligently spends up to four hours crafting a web trap designed to catch one type of prey: the green tree ant. When the green tree ant triggers the trap by biting, it’s rapidly thrown upward into the spider’s main web. Some scientists think this might be the first spider’s web engineered to catch one kind of prey!
She must be due to emerge from her silk castle soon!
Still no idea why she does this sometimes. Such a silly spood.
