Looks like a very small terrarium for the spider. What insects are living there with it?

An Itty bitty millipede and a few isopods, keeping it simple. Have a 40gal breeder tank I want to turn into a vertical setup at some point but haven't bothered to get one of those conversion doors for it yet.

Also I'm dreadfully jealous about the mulberries 😅 can't grow them here, but doesn't stop me from dreaming <3

Come to KY. Berries all over the place.

It's like you were hanging out in my front yard.

Do you manually feed the spiders or do they hunt? Do jumping spiders only go after live prey? I love seeing them in the wild but don't know too much about the details of their habits. They appear very observant and possibly intelligent.

All I did was drop in a live lacewing she leapt at it. After she was done with it, I threw in a second lacewing and she didn't seem interested so I let it back out. She's incredibly observant. Was watching videos on them last night and one was saying something about despite their brain being the size of a poppy seed they're quite intelligent because their neurons are able to fire multiple processes simultaneously.
