Do they have Tinder for spiders? Maybe called Spinner?

Spiders going their own way...
Looks like he made it...
Their sex organs are in their knees, IIRC.
He has to take his sperm from his flashy little knees with his extra long forelegs and wait for an opportunity to get past her shorter forelegs and place the package on one or both of the knees on her second set of legs. It can be risky since in reaching he exposes his vulnerable underside to her fangs.
He doesn’t move his mouthparts much while this is going on but she does. To me it looks like she is communicating with him using the appendages around her mouth- palps, etc- while he is using his legs. Maybe they are discussing the pre-nup.
Had some bold jumpers around, and they were somewhat fun to play with. They turn to face the finger, wherever it goes.
Also had a brown recluse bite me not long ago. Bled quite a bit after pulling the weird, thin membrane off of the weird, pinkish purple spot. Pretty ugly little crater and not so fun. Poured peroxide into it and packed it with baking soda. Then packed it again and again very often as needed for a couple of days or so.
Didn’t go to the doctor, but the scar was smaller than it could have been, right next to a sizable, visible vein. Probably did better on my own than with a doctor that time and with no cutting.
Jumping spider’s relatives are the peacock spiders of Australia:
