She jump to safety

(mini tarantula Typhochlaena seladonia)
I should mention that many arboreal tarantulas jump like this. I would love to see a slow-motion tarantula jump! How do they distribute their body weight when landing?
Here's a better view of my Typhochlaena seladonia in case you want to enjoy it in its full glory https://twitter.com/wizentrop/status/1234148819362885633
Here's a video of the mini tarantula Typhochlaena seladonia walking normally. This spider almost never goes outside of its home. This morning it was collecting material to reinforce its trapdoor construction, so I took advantage of it.
Here's a photo of the the mini tarantula (Typhochlaena seladonia) from the same morning session so you can appreciate the colors better.
It's a mobile phone photo so go easy on me 😓
