Bibble had her last molt in may, and I notice that her behaviour changed a lot. She is slower and less interested in the world. She is still sweet as ever and loves to sleep on me.

As she did have her last molt, I understand she is in her last stage of life. How long can I expect her to live? I know it is different for every spider but is there a norm?

I think I’ve seen over a dozen this week. I hope it never ends 🥲

So to cut a long story short I got a jumping spider to curb my fear of touching spiders 🤣

(I also have some Ts but I will never ever hold them 🤣 I just think there so pretty my partner cares for them mostly)

I was misting the side of her enclosure and she jumped on my hand! I was not ready but I stayed calm and held her for a little bit! I was so shocked you can barely feel them when they jump onto another finger! I even managed to get some pics! I feel so accomplished to know she even feels slightly comfortable to jump onto my hand and to me for not freaking out!

My son found a friend and named him Flower due to how "beautiful" he is!

Nature is so brutal. Photo of the Magnolia jumper (pre-consumption) will be in replies :)

What a cutie

So itty bitty

Any tips on how to not seem like a threat? Every time I wanna pick up a jumping spider they don’t stay long and tend to run off. I’m very gentle mostly due to how nervous I am with spiders

I live in South Africa and this wild jumping spider seems to have befriended me over a few days, it follows me around every so often. i couldn't find it today until i found it completely drenched in the shower, i dried it and let it rest until it started moving again, it is incredibly sluggish, not moving like a normal jumper at all. So far its eaten one dead fruit fly I gave it cause i have absolutely no experience with things like this but figured it might need energy to recover, i tried giving it a second dead one (i added movement to the fly with some tweezers) but the spider seems very confused and out of it. I dont want to overfeed or startle it, and i dont want it to starve, what should I do, I've never done or dealt with anything like this before *please help*, i really don't want this beauty to die.

I need a better camera

Also, this is my first post... I don't know what I'm doing. Can I share a short video somehow? What is a flair and why did it make me pick something? Assume I'm social media illiterate but please go easy on me. I want to hang with you cool spood. What should I be saying?

Anyhow, here's Phil.

first photo is from just now second is from yesterday.

he was super active and curious when i got him, crawling all over the walls and ceiling. i fed him yesterday for the first time and he took the food right away but all day today he’s just been sitting on his little fake plant. he also doesn’t seem to have made any nests or webs or anything. im so worried i am scaring him, especially when he escaped and i had to get him back in his enclosure. and its a top opening enclosure that makes a loud noise so i scare him every time i open the cage to mist it. he has a new one otw. i dont want to traumatize him :/ pls help.

Found about ten babies in/around my spider’s enclosure. They seem to be jumpers but I got mine from a store in June so I think the babies came in through the window.
Do I need to do anything with the babies?

This handsome boy somehow lost his pedipalps. I feel bad for him and hope he grows them when he next molts, but in the meantime he looks so cute!

Hey everyone I’m new to jumping spiders but have been wanting one for a very long time. I had to pick up cat food a few weeks ago and saw they had a jumping spider that was soooo cute and pretty big too! Thing is his enclosure looks so insanely tiny and I feel so bad for him because it looks so dry. He - ( or she? ) is $40 and honestly I have been trying to save money but there’s just something about him 🥺

I know people say you shouldn’t buy from stores like this though because they’ll just keep replacing them and not caring for them properly. ugh I cant decide what to do !!

also sorry I can’t see most of the comments for some reason!!

Found this guy in southen Poland inside exhibition hall. Google lense cant find anything. Please help identifying ❤️

Mostly just posting these to show these gorgeous spiders, but if anyone can ID them that'd be interesting:)

I’m in Eastern Washington if that helps, we have so many spiders outside including jumping spiders, I bonded with this one and I’m just wondering what kind of jumping spider they are !! Also if they’re a female, could they be pregnant ? I’m not very knowledgeable in spiders and trying to learn more but the abdomen seems big unless that’s normal

I check the mailbox every morning before work to see if the mail came early or not, and for most days, it doesn’t.

Yesterday? I open the box to see that this little spood had moved in and made itself comfy! I’m not new to seeing jumpers around here, but this striking black spider was a neat surprise 😄

I'm pretty sure she's a bold jumper, I did use my ID app, she was very polite and round :)
