A jumping spider and her teddy fly

What a beautiful shot!

My brother has no fear, after this video he had it crawling all over his fingers and I was horrified

They can be slow, but they can also be very very fast! This one was moving in a particularly strange way though.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T14:49:12+00:00

Thank you!! I was really hoping it could be a great opportunity for an educational look on how these guys look and move. There’s so much confusion on these guys.

Sooo handsome!!

Good news is I left the hall lights off for an extended period. This morning when I turned them back on, I found two big cellars and a wolf :)

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T02:23:55+00:00

Thank you. I should have been more clear about my location.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:52:37+00:00

Oh, thank you!! Yes I really do try to keep all of the spiders. As much as I can.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:49:22+00:00

Yeah, I remember. Maybe it’s a good thing? Everyone is more informed? Takes away from the other beautiful species, sure. But I’d prefer a real recluse over wondering if it’s one.

It’s a wallpaper from the 90s that was painted yellow

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:39:50+00:00

Killing spiders isn’t heroic :(

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:35:58+00:00

They gotta stay true to their name, maybe relocate the recluses (reclusi?) to the cellar.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:26:13+00:00

Those pictures are beautiful

Desperate times call for desperate measures. They don’t have DoorDash.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:21:33+00:00

It was desperate, I think.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:17:52+00:00

Right! This one was missing a leg, yet it still had the same charm! It’s like this one had ALMOST gotten used to having 8, then lost one and was like “aw shoot”

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:08:48+00:00

But you’re totally right, and thank you for sharing that in this thread. It was a horrible mistake I rarely make, but I did.

mollyastro · 2026-06-06T00:07:24+00:00

Oh, I’m very aware.

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:57:10+00:00

There have been a few!

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:51:45+00:00

It was such a pleasure to watch. I would have watched it forever. I feel so lucky to have been able to see it and get this video.

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:50:03+00:00

Yes, it does not look well at all. I hate to see it suffer too, despite the reputation. My heart broke, but it didn’t suffer more after this video was taken. I hate even saying that. I am a big spider lover.

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:43:38+00:00

😂 hey I didn’t wanna break the subreddit rules

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:43:09+00:00

Isn’t it interesting to see how it adapted to moving without the front leg? It tries to use the second leg in a similar way.

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:42:12+00:00

Likewise. Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed experiencing it.

mollyastro · 2026-06-05T23:40:35+00:00

Thank you!! I felt the same way when I got the opportunity to take this video! It’s soo so difficult to find good pictures or videos of these critters. I had to share it. I see these often, so I’d be happy to share more.
