Curious about bumps

[DustyD]

I just recently noticed these bumps on the abdomen of my G. rosea, made more visible by her shedding of her irticating hairs. I am not sure if it is from a tumble or previous molt, or irticating hairs. Any thoughts? Second picture is from 5 days ago.

Hmm, I have been told that usually the simplist most logical answer is usually the right answer.

I now believe it was just dirt. It looked transluscent to me, I swear.

It did not look like dirt at all and being the way that i am, I feared the worst: climbing accident, mites, bad previous molt, exoskeletal issues.

A paint brush easily removed the debris. Lol.

It looks like scruffed up/loose urticaring hairs to me, but either way it shouldn't be harmful.

Ok thanks. Wasn't quite sure what it was.

Yes, they are loosened urticating hairs. Nothing to worry about, just don't touch them!

Itching powder.....

Itching powder.....

Now that I think about it, you could grind up the molts of NWs into a fine powder and use it as homemade pepper spray.
