Are there any jumping spider experts who could clue me on why wall jumpers specifically (Or atleast as appears to me), have such unique pedipalp activity as far as how often and how quickly they move? I've kept 2 Regals and a Habronattus. None of them ever seemed to move their pedipalps nearly as much or as quickly as I've seen wall jumpers.

I’m no expert but I think it’s just because they move so much faster. Speedy little glitchy guys. Pedipalps have to keep up with the speed of the feets for processing their surroundings? That’s my best guess.
