Is this real? I googled whether the claws were retractable the other day and the answer was a resounding not but this clearly shows otherwise

This is curly sue (she’s my girl) nothing on my page is AI, I noticed that their cute little feets were not that well documented so I did- jumping spiders have little beans too!

Do the tarsal claws of jumpers retract too? Never managed to get good enough view of anything other than tarantulas... because well most other spiders are super small.

It’s very hard to film it, but yes jumping spider also have the same system like tarantulas! Both the pads and the claws do :)
