hey everybody, i just found this wild jumping spider and it seems to constantly raise its abdomen. it also doesn't move a whole lot unless prompted; it will just stand still with its abdomen in the air unless i give it a nudge. wondering what this could mean? it's abdomen seems to be on the larger end so maybe a pregnancy behavior? i live in an area that often sprays for bugs so it might be something to do with that as a few of its limbs don't seem to be working quite right and it's fallen over a handful of times, plus it seems to hold the rest of its body pretty close to the surface when it's walking. my other guess is ballooning as it's a relatively windy day. if anyone had any other ideas let me know. thank you!
