5" (13 cm) Curtain Web Spider on the Hunt #short

That would be 5" in legspan, not body length. This is a mature male Linothele fallax or "Curtain Web Spider". These amazing animals construct their own homes from thick webbing that feels just like a silk shirt. Although they are very fast, they are NOT at all aggressive, choosing to use their speed to run rather than fight. #shortvideo #shortsfeed #short
