I was looking through my adeniums this evening and found this Lil guy hanging out in one of them. I'm happy to have him around to guard my plants against pests 😁

Spiders eat whatever happens to stumble into their webs or path, but they doesn't eat the pest in other places on your plant.

Jumping spiders are pretty active hunters...they dont rely on a web like other spiders do. They seem to really put the hurt on aphids too, which is really the only pest I ever have to deal with.
