Heh, for a second there this read like some of the Portiid adventures with Bianca and Fabian from Adrian Tchaikovsky's book "Children of time". If you find this kind of thing interesting and are a fan of sci-fi, I highly recommend the book.

It is truly fascinating, I wonder how it evolved like that.
Before becoming a spring as it is today how was it hunting in the past? What constraints made it need such a mechanism instead of a typical web?

The videos are amazing. Sadly I think theses types of adaptations make it easier for the species to go extinct since its so highly specialized.

I wonder why biological organisms are capable of such absurdly high accelerations. Article reminded me of cnidocytes which apparently produce anywhere between 40,000 and 5,410,000 g. Is it because of the small masses involved?

Of course it’s an Australian spider
