I’ve got a lot! I love these little guys!!


Found this little guy taking shelter on a rainy day, and enjoyed putting his cute little face into my brother’s not-so-cute little face for a reaction.

I don’t know what kind it is, but it is really pretty!

I see these guys a lot and they are the best!!

I don’t know this one either, but I love how he ferociously clings to his lunch. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Another tan
This is a neat thread! Jumping spiders are just so incredibly cute! And I have so many more haha, I just need to catch up!

Ooh, that little green one! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: (quietly squeeing so as not to wake the household)

I wish I ran into more jumping spiders; the only one I’ve gotten so far is a P. audax. Why the little guy wanted to hitchhike to the fabric store with me is still a mystery.

He wanted some juicy, crunchy moths for lunch, and recognized that some like to hide in fabric :laughing:

That Thin-spined Jumping Spider is cool! It’s not furry like most I have seen.

He’s so tiny! Adorable.

Thank you! I think it caught a largus bug, which is pretty impressive, being almost the size of the spider :laughing:

Yeah, it is fairly impressive, isn’t it? I’ve only really seen them eat things much smaller than them.

I would argue that there’s no cuter jumping spiders than those in the subtribe Simaethina.
