That's very cool. How did you go about learning that?
I literally got toothpicks, a syringe and went to work. I dropped water on the molt to get it soft and moldable, and used toothpicks and glue to patch together the abdomen and glue the carapace "cap" back on. I colored a cotton ball black, and stuffed it into the abdomen first. Then I posed it, and put a water bottle on its side fir the legs to sit on. Once it dries, it's like a hard potato chip and holds its own threat pose form. Actually easy and fun to do with patience. If u built models before its kinda the same

No, I usually either push them out of my burrow, or eat them. Sometimes I incorporate them into my web though, when I'm feeling artsy..
