A week ago she constructed a tunnel down the corner of her habitat and off into the center. She can often be seen in this tunnel at various points. Yesterday I put in a pretty big "small" cricket, which ended up having a body length almost as big as Palomita. She came up into the opening of her burrow and sat waiting for it to walk by. When it was within reach, she lunged, but missed. I stopped watching at this point. Unfortunately. When I looked back a few minutes later, she was wresting the brute! She killed it and dragged it down her burrow, then ate it up. She's a predator for sure!</p></blockquote><p></p>
