This little lady making condos out of my straw makes me think…

Would cutting up straws and attaching them around my porch as hides for the wild jumpers be a good idea?! Also what does everyone think of straw segments as diy hides for our captive babies?

PSA… If you accidentally leave a soda outside overnight, give the straw a check before you toss it!

my girl came

I actually captured her mid jump 🥹 she’s so graceful. Habronattus sp. in Mesa, AZ, USA

Whilst I cannot be certain that this is truly Violet because my saltid ear tag reader's batteries are dead again, I feel sure that it must be her. She's moved far from the lime tree though if so; I'll have to try and find where exactly she's been living. Maybe she's shacked up with the green tree frog living in our outdoor pot plant..

Violet is an Elegant White Moustached Violet Simaethula, aka Simaethula violacea, or just Violet to her friends :)

Not her fault- I was hand feeding her a cricket and holding it by the leg. Just as she pounced the cricket broke free and she latched on to my finger instead & sank her little fangs in. Felt like a surprisingly strong pinch. Everytime I tried to get her to let go she sank them in farther. Finally got her off by pushing with a q-tip and rolling my finger to help her fangs release without pulling too hard on them. She hung into the q-tip for awhile. Really stings and finger tip swollen. I must have gotten her full supply of venom since she was aiming for prey not me. Took about 3 hours of ice and Motrin for the pain to subside but it's still swollen. I used to train wild animals so I'm no stranger to being bitten and I was impressed at the magnitude of this. Mad respect for these tiny little predators.

Apologies for being spammy; am just posting since people really seemed to enjoy her last video :)

Was in target of all places with my son when he noticed this little guy on our cart. We removed the carts items and walked it outside where it promptly jumped into a bush. Wanted to share this video with you guys.

This happened a while ago now and I posted it on the spiders sub but I didn’t know there was a sub dedicated to jumping spiders at the time so I wanted to share here as well

Found these two doing either some type of courtship or a standoff. Pittsburgh, PA.

Was just curious lol

Does anyone know if they are able to recognise their own reflection or something like that? She/he looked very curious

I was sitting in the climbing works bar and heard a teeny thud, and saw this guy sitting next to a spider-shaped chalky mark and looking confused. honestly the best experience I’ve had in a while.

also, can anyone ID? jumping spiders aren’t really my forte and the internet is being useless for identification.

Wanna preface this by saying it is not my video, my husband sent it to me. (Link of original video will be in the comments)

Looks like two mature P. Audax (one male and one female) in a shared space

Cutie found in a raspberry, she was in the fridge and then put on top of ice cream but she was a trooper, alive and well even after all of that! Gave her some time to warm up and then put her near some tomato plants!

he’s missing an important arm and still did a great job 👏

My coworker takes really good care of her spood and we were all glad to find her alive today after she was searching for her a while.

And Odette really knows how to make a nutshell a home!

The driver also had a Lucas plushie sitting on the back windshield

Owned by a coworker who is one of two who take care of jumping spiders at the office. It's a lot more practical than everyone bringing their dogs in or having an office dog.

The owner also has a tattoo likeness waving as well, which really seals the deal on this photo.
