I’ve noticed H. carolinensis slings can jump pretty well.I was wandering if any other spider species that are not part of salticidae can jump.
Yeah they can, i just saw some videos and they can jump pretty far especially poecilotheria species.I’ve noticed H. carolinensis slings can jump pretty well.
Arboreal tarantulas can jump pretty well as well.
That would be great! I really intrested for some reasonI made thread on this a while back let me just go and dig it up
You're supposed to do like the hilltribe kids. Get your head right in their face then spook them. They just can't cope with hair very well and you provide an excellent pedestal for your friends to hunt them on.Huntsman are great at jumping off the wall into your face if you miss while trying to catch them with a jar!
That's what I was talking about. Nod your head down so they get hair instead. It's actually pretty hilarious when they slam into your face. A total panic thing. The explanation for that move becomes obvious when you see them on a wall with geckos around.Oh no, these are on the wall and jump straight at you if hassled too much. No doubt it's an evasion strategy but they end up on your face not a nearby tree or bush.
And if Jackie Chan ever needs a stunt double just ask me to catch a huntsman.That's what I was talking about. Nod your head down so they get hair instead.

I don't even try. What is absolutely hilarious is comparing my clutziness to hilltribe village kids. They deftly snatch up full tilt Venatorias like like like... it was childs play! It's so cute, seeing them chase down a spider and grabbing it then with the free hand they muss their hair up and plop the spider on top of their heads.And if Jackie Chan ever needs a stunt double just ask me to catch a huntsman.
That's something I've always been curious of, how do they (along with most other insects/spiders) determine up and down. They almost always move upward, no matter how many time you turn them over in a jar. It makes collecting easy in most cases, catch something that bites or stings, turn the net so the opening is facing down and fish around with a vial at your leisure because it's not getting out. Recommend the combo nets, sweeping + aerial fabrics = you can actually see what you're trying to catch.Saw a sparassid in the toilet bowl last night down near the water. I thought I was going to have a beast of a time getting it out without it going freak out and falling in the water. I lowered a rag down near it to climb on then zoom. Up the bowl, jumped upside down to the rim then leapt to the wall a foot away - a stroll in the park for it.
I was flat out amazed. Then I got to thinking, no inner ear. No sense of up and down. A jump is a jump from any position to any other position.
Huh, never really saw a drassodes jumping.Every lycosoid (lycosid/miturgid/zoropsid/pisaurid/Trechaleid) on earth, all sparassidae.
there are a few of uncertain placement like homalonychus- another excellent jumper. all gnaphosidae, ground sac spiders, basically most terrestrial spiders are capable of jumping.
all gnaphosidae can jump. they actually share close kinship with Salticidae, along with Corinnidae, the ground sac spiders.Huh, never really saw a drassodes jumping.
So, not all maybe?
