@LauraScrimshaw Did you know this posture is called "obelisking"? Around mid-day they point their abdomen toward the sun to keep from overheating (early or late in the day they can move it perpendicular to the sun to catch more sunlight.)

I had no idea of the name! I didn't even know obelisk could be a verb! Thank you!
