Unfortunately no, she was just chillin. Was also at night though, so she was probably a bit surprised when I rolled up with my headlamp that shines with the light of a thousand suns.

Oh boy, you were in for a treat then. There are some super cool studies that show Portia is probably the smartest spider around (or at least tested so far). The fact they can stalk prey, go on a little detour, and get back to it is just...yea, mind blowing for a spider.
