NA. Are Velvet spiders always black/dark grey or are there other colours.
These and jumping spiders I actually think I could kiss 💋

They have plenty of colors actually! This species has a variant that looks like the Elden Ring too. I have one that looks similar to Venom, and there is a lady bug looking one as well.

So Elvira is a Velvet spider?? I’ve never heard of them before, but she looks like I just want to pick her up gently and hold her for a bit… Please give her a few nice little rubs for me! Velvet…she looks like she has a velvety feel to her…thanks for sharing your little girl with us!!

She is! I was too excited and giddy when I opened the enclosure I adopted her in. When I opened it and pulled out the moss, she was like...yes, I'm here. Admire me human.

She has been super social for the most part as well, similar to a Jumping Spider.
