Spiders are not cute. Not even these.
Spider locomotion is fascinating though.
The only muscle a spider uses for walking and moving about is its heart. The legs and all moveable appendages move by hydraulics. Tendons pull the legs in and hydraulics (inflating bladders) extend the legs. Kill a spider and all the legs contract because they lose hydraulic pressure.

However, when the nasty ones get taken out around here it's pretty much flat splat city.
