Left third leg seems to be one molt ahead of legs 4 on both sides.Originally posted by genious_gr

Oh I see...but looking at the size differences leg 3 must've been lost first. Both of left and right leg 4 must've been lost either at the same time or within a short timespan of each other.Originally posted by genious_gr
Actually, all three legs (No 4 on both sides and No 3 on the left) were regenerated in ONE molt.... Amazing bugs aren't they??
The spider lost 3 legs ... but that's my best guessOriginally posted by Lam
So... what happened in the first place?
Definitely amazing. It's also very gratifying when they "do their thing" in textbook fasion.Originally posted by genious_gr

Tarantulas use hydraulic pressure to control everything, along with ''muscles''. That's why they're so prone to ''popping'' when they hit a hard surface.Originally posted by genious_gr
Thanks
I was wondering;
1)T's don't use nerves right?? Then what do they use to control their body???
Hydraylics to extend, muscles to retract, right?Originally posted by JakeRocks

PFM....Pure freaking Magic, just use that anytime you don't know something, it seems to work fairly well, lol.Originally posted by genious_gr
What do they use to comunicate with their limbs etc. ?? Nerves Don't move the body, they transfer the signal....
