i look at the film again,it is just defensive behaviour off the auratum against the criquet.

I THINK HE ACT THAT WAY BECAUSE HE WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE WITH THE CRIQUET;THERE IS A CRIQUET AND YOU SEE WHEN HE FEEL THAT,THEN HE REACT THAT WAY.and he walk away ,still looking at the criquet.

that can have many reasons,for example ,a criquet was there when he was molted and now he don't like criquets.iff he don't eat and he dos'nt have to molt,you can tried to remove the head of the criquet.but it can also be the caracter of the spider,auratums can be verry nervous!

@FireDrag1091 Thanks for that information it really helped

@MegaQuasia89 Spinnerettes, it is how they make their webs. They might be larger compared to a normal spider.

My B smithi has done this when she was in her pre-molt process. I offered her a cricket with my foreceps, and as I was coming down with it to drop it, she jumped a good inch and a half off the substrate! At the time, that was her leg span! She bit the cricket in self-defense and did this cool spin, then ran under her bark. What was weird is she didn't kick hairs first..
