I spent about 20 minutes talking to a Great Jumper. It was so cute, when I was talking, it looked right at me and walked closer to me and sat there as if it was listening to me, when I stopped talking it would turn around and walk away. When I spoke again, it came right back lol.

I had a jumping spider that lived inside my cars mirror. Just found him one day while I was eating lunch at work, he didn’t want to leave so I actually let him stay and became a pet in some way. There’s a lot of bugs near my job so I fed him those rolly Polly bugs that wander around. He sadly passed away a few years ago, I found his corpse when I turned my mirror outward and found him behind the mechanism. For those wondering what his name was, it was Henry. Rip little buddy

Clarification - 1-2 years is the lifespan in captivity. Their physical ability drops off quite a bit at that point, so I'd suspect that they have shorter lives in the wild due to predation.

Cool fact. A lot of people who have arachnophobia actually aren't afraid of jumping spiders. Myself included. I believe it's because of the way they move and how it just doesn't really trigger a spider in my head if I see one on the wall or something.

I've found the one that mimics an ant last August. I seriously thought it was just the common trapjaw ant with it's jaws closed. After I let it climbed my fingers & got a closer look, it was a jumping spider!

I love how big their eyes are ❤❤

I had a jumping spider go with me on a bicycle ride , on my haddle bars.

They are the cutest!!!! Always super chill spiders

Have a few around the place and it still makes me chuckle every time they turn-on "cat mode" and wiggle before jumping. Named one of them TJ because he does this weird triple jump; two little skips and then the attack. Size of my little finger nail but I still flinch when they jump yet have no issue with spiders crawling on me in general..

I saw a jumping spider in my house today. It just looked at me and continued what it was doing.

Jumping spiders are cool asl. There’s one that lives in the picnic table I sit at by my job. When it went to move by me on the table,I could see it lift its upper body to look up at me with those big eyes lol I think it got used to my presence because a few mins later,it hopped up on my arm and was exploring around

I’m normally terrified of spiders. Working on overcoming that since I try to save them on my job site lol. But these little guys I have always thought were so cute. But I recently read somewhere and (please somebody chime in if they have heard the same or different)thing that spiders actually DONT have good eyesight, which I thought was hilarious being that they have enough eyes

i found a baby outside and he jumped right in my enclosure when i held it up to him :]

those eyelashes for each eye lol

Literally I was repairing a roof painting down silicone on a air duct unit he was walking towards the areas I painted there was only one way out it was towards me he almost crawled in the silicone until I told him 🕷️ to stop you're going to get stuck dude you're going to have to walk towards me don't worry I won't kill you that's what I said to 🕷️ and I'm not surprised from the jumping spiders action he heard me he started walking towards me he spent a web down from the air duct unit by me but literally he turned around and looked at me and took my advice so for those people who think they're just insignificant insects you are surely wrong!!!! .👂🕷️👂😏😎

Lower Ohio river Valley we have several species of jumping spiders and they are a Hoot to watch, even got my no bug wife involved, seeing one first time you'll marvel at their athletic ability and cunning, observe them long enough & you start feeling there's an air of intelligence to them. There's a extra small species that hangs around the house that's even more interesting to watch, any bug even slightly larger than itself is fair game. watching one stalking down a fly is trippy.
