The badge ones are quite common but I cannot say if they are more aggressive. They are certainly not getting my finger.
I love this shot, I heard the badge ones were the ones that were most likely to chomp on a finger?
The badge huntsman has a pair of false eyes strategically positioned to discourage attack from the rear.

Thanks Goody. Who said it was relaxed?
Great photos and a fine job in getting it to relax on your hand. I know how fast they can be!
