Quick Answer

Some huntsman spiders are among the fastest arachnid runners, capable of moving very quickly across surfaces to chase prey or escape danger.

The Full Story

Huntsman spiders are known for speed rather than webs. Their flattened bodies and sideways leg posture help them move rapidly across walls, bark, and floors. Although exact records vary by species and measurement method, huntsman spiders are widely regarded as some of the fastest arachnids in short bursts. Their speed is part of why they are such effective hunters.
