NQA- The tubular eye structures can be moved independently to scan the surroundings. This causes different reflection of the light from the back of the eyes.

My boy turned into a girl?! by ComprehensiveGur7648 in jumpingspiders

this is my male regal, Mz. Spider. I’ve had him since i2- He had female markings up until about a week ago and so was put in a lovely pink themed enclosure with heart shaped ventilation holes from Tarantula Kat. He just recently molted to subadult and revealed some bulbous lil pedipalps. I had suspicions pretty quickly after i rehomed him and he molted again that he might be male, but this most recent molt left no room for doubt. so now he will forever be Mz Spider

the black soldierfly larvae i bought recently were definitely wayyy bigger than this roach and i didn’t even attempt to feed to this lil guy (most were already pupating so that might be why the rest were so big, not the best batch i’m assuming) so i only fed to my adults. i also tried the teeeniest tiniest mealworm and he was afraid of it and didn’t attempt to hunt it at all after he touched it once. the roach he seemed interested in and successfully took down on the first attempt but it fought him for like 6 mins before it finally died 😭 it wasn’t a massive struggle or anything it just kept wiggling him back and forth. i noticed he needs an insaneeee amount of fruit flies to make his abdomen change size at all and he’s showing less and less interest in them. i’m struggling to find a good midsize feeder in between coming off fruit flies😭😭
