Tenodera aridifolia... playing dead...

[Giosan]

I was opening the little enclosure I keep this Tenodera aridifolia in, to add some food... He jumped on my finger, then on the ground.. look what he did!!

That looked so funny, never seen them do that. I did see other species playing dead but they curled up their legs. This one looks just like a stick!

I could just pick it up and he stayed that way:

After a few seconds he stood back up when I blew on him

Thats the BEST "dead" pose I've ever seen! It even beats the way Acromantis play dead! :lol:
