Not a good picture , but as I was trying to photograph this Spider I noticed a large bubble comming from his mouth. Not there in later photos. Does anyone know what this is?
did you have it in the freezer or refrigerator?

Yes he was in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes!

That also explains his (imitating a dead spider) pose. :-) Did it recover?
Spider venom also includes digestive juices, which break-down the prey's innards to liquid, so the spider can then drain the exoskeleton dry. This female Brown Lynx spider is just "expressing" her digestive juices, probably due to her recent refrigerator experience.
I had a wife like that, once upon a time.

My ex-wife raised hell when I put her in the refrigerator. I was right though, it warmed her up!
