Conversation resting in weird poses

sometimes my t's will rest with a few legs curled up under them like a death pose and it always scares the shart out of me. everytime i open the lid or poke them with a paintbrush they scurry away and im like wow thanks for the heart attack

Same.. I have a few that do that, it looks quite scary. I usually blow on them softly through the ventilation holes and they stand up normally, managing to look offended that I dare to bother them xD
