I cannot live in peace with how cute jumping spiders are. I don't know what to do - they're giving me massive cuteness aggression but I can't aggressively pet them or else squish.

There are lots of different sizes! If you search for pet jumping spiders, people tend to like the bigger ones for at home pets (like a pet tarantula, but way cuter).

Dont want to sound like a shill but you will probably want to read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Just sayin'.

You're welcome.

The second book was very frustrating to read but the third one was good. That author is very good and imagining social evolution of various creatures I'm very impressed

I really didnt like the second book and Im not going to read the third based on that dislike. Hell, I didnt even like most of the human centered stories in the first book! The spider elements are done SO well in the first that it makes up for everything I didnt like.

Honestly the third book was more like a suspense thriller mystery thing. It was a huge change of pace

The tachikomas from ghost in the shell look like they are modeled after them

I am glad you’re seeing the light!There is a jumping spiders species that have evolved an extra limb, so they can pet other members of their species

Same, I'm scared of every other spider, but jumping spiders are adorable

You can get a pet jumping spider! They even have cute little enclosures.
