i’ve had a few messages about this particular spider so here’s some info on it!

these spiders belong to the genus neobrettus. they are cryptic jumping spiders, usually mottled brown or grey, that rely on stealth to navigate tree trunks in the rainforests and neighbouring gardens of malaysia, bhutan and vietnam. despite being jumping spiders, these guys don’t actually jump. instead they move smoothly and quickly from one position to another. their unique fuzzy appearance is likely to be an attempt at mimicry of an unsavoury caterpillar. not much else is known about them as they are very difficult to spot.

Here’s Juli! Big centipede lady married to Attica. 

Being a huge centipede, she can traverse the garpede tunnels in Deepnest pretty easily should she choose to – normally this happens when Attica has things that need transporting that are just too big for her tiny spider self to handle on her own, or when Attica wants to take her on an outing to somewhere outside Deepnest. Otherwise she’s content to stay at home and gossip at the Mask Maker (with Attica’s help they keep supplies well-stocked, and Juli takes these opportunities to talk at him. Emphasis on “at”, he’s usually so absorbed in his work that he continues to chatter to himself and take no notice of anyone else.) 

Juli’s generally pretty friendly and laid-backl, but can be very protective of her smol wife. Not that Attica can’t take care of herself. When Attica’s gone for stretches of time like she is, Juli loves to dote on her when they get time together. And that includes getting grumpy on her behalf.
