see, jumping spiders understand this. they recognize that we're effectively gods and their lives are entirely in our hands, so they damn well stand still and try to look non-threatening.

At least they have the decency to try to look cute! House centipedes just come right out with "You can hate me but you'll never catch me fuckers!" as they damn near burn a track into the floor

Jumping spiders are so cute. I taught my 5 year old to call them "spider bros."

He does not know what a bro is.
