I also saw a huge—and I mean, huge—bold jumping spider on my deck! They’re so cool. That thing must’ve weighed the same as a green pea, which, if you know jumping spiders, is very heavy.🕷️
It’s so fun to watch them catch their dinner! This jumper was beautiful, I was tempted to figure out if I could get it to live in my terrarium, but it was so happy out on the sunny deck with my vegetables
Love the jumpers. Far as I know, they are a major predator of tent caterpillars. One year we had an infestation and the caterpillars were everywhere. Found a little jumper on the deck railing with a deflated 'pillar in his mouth - like Pixie Stix for spiders.
Nice! Yeah, I find that they keep themselves, so I coexist peacefully with them 🙌
There are other kinds of house spiders that have different personalities (like the skittering, up in my business ones) those I transport outside lol.
They have little personalities, scientists have discovered that they dream, they seem to be able to reason, and yes, I think they’re very adorable! Especially because they have those hallmark cartoonish forward facing eyes. 👁️👁️ ✨
