The issue is they have too many paws.
Jumping spiders are easily the cutest Arthropods out there. They are super intelligent and exhibit object permanence.
I once startled a Bold Jumping Spider while doing garden work. It hid behind a plank of wood - and peaked out once in a while to check if I’m still there
That’s fascinating. Knowing me I’d probably spend extra time in the garden just observing the little critter. Like dammit he’s got me invested now! Lol
Why does it look friendly?

Yep. Like babies.
And giant squid.
Because those ones are
…masters at hiding their true evil intentions.
Just like kitties 😍

They don’t look sharp. That’s actually pretty fascinating, the variety of claws and hooks to use for webs and such.

Coughs

Only 7 legs featured in this picture
9 actually
Some of those 9 are in the background/blurry, not really “featured” in the picture.
Wait a minute
In case anyone is curious, most of these appear to be the tarantula Avicularia avicularia. Common name is, appropriately, the pinktoe tarantula.
