Anyway, my L Klugi Justina attacked them and didn't let go. When she did, she flipped over into her back and fell.  Fortunately it was on the frog moss. Then she nearly ran out of the enclosure. She also attacked the paint brush when I tried to move her to a safer location before closing the lid.That's a huge feeding response!! It's not playing aggression. It's a real fun spider however.All's well that ends well. The moral is that if something isn't right, don't improvise to much.  At least she managed to way the meal worm.Yikes!!</blockquote>
