This little girl quad was busy spanning a chasm between a manzanita branch and slender green leaf, when she stopped and just hung in that position for about 10-15 minutes. Maybe the position stretched her tail and lower back in a soothing manner--I don't know--but she rested in that odd position for a long time. I even held a 1/4" cricket in front of her. She zapped it, chewed it, and swallowed it, all while hanging in this awkward position.
