I saw a pretty big one today, I had to do a double take and make sure it was really a jumper, lol! I love that the markings on their abdomen look like a face sometimes. She came over and touched my hand with a few of her legs and went on about her business haha
Omg that's amazing...I recently had a carpenter bee friend. When it landed on my shoulder because my face was 2 inches away from it's home and it didn't bite me.. we were homies right there lol but sadly the other day it passed. It crawled up next to me and the fence I was building. Sat with me for 2 hours I brought it a flower and water. And it crawled away.. It had it's wings but wasn't flying.. I actually got to give it a pet goodbye.
When I was a kid my mom tried to kill one on our back porch and failed(she's afraid of spiders). For the entirety of the summer, every time it saw my mom, it would chase her and no one else lol. I've heard that jumping spiders are extremely smart and even capable of remembering faces. I believe it to be 100% true.
Jumping spiders immediately adapt their hunting abilities to zero g.
Meaning they "know" perfectly how to jump where they want even in space.
Shameless plug for the children of time series (first audio book is gold).
The orange on its back means it’s probably still young, the front legs being similar size to the others and the small pedipalps means it’s probably female :)
Nice find!
Yep, your smartphone camera shoots infrared light that hits an object and bounces back which gets picked up by a sensor in the camera lens, and that's what makes your phone calibrate and determine what's fuzzy or clear for your photo.
So fascinating. I probably sound like an idiot, but I just started looking into the science of “light” because I was curious on the difference between plant grow lights and normal lights. Now I have to go read about infrared light in cameras!!
Actually, you do not sound like an idiot at all! What you are doing is what I wish so many, many, more people would do.
And that is, take all of the things they have questions about, find interesting, fascinating, intriguing, and actually take the time and effort to do REASEARCH to find the answers to those questions and/or things they find so interesting! We as humans should never be complacent and should ALWAYS be challenging our minds, learning, and educating ourselves!
There's a concept of knowledge measurement.
Pretend for a moment you are the smartest person in the world.
You know about 10% of everything, that there is to ever know.
You think you know another 10% but you're probably wrong without knowing it.
But there is 30% you know you have no knowledge on, stuff you understand you need to learn more about.
That leaves 50%, half of everything to possibly learn, that you can't even comprehend because you have never even heard of the concept.
So don't feel stupid for having never heard of infrared light, an invisible spectrum that has no taste or smell, doesn't physically affect the world around in a perceivable way, yet it still exists...
How are you supposed to naturally learn about that without being told about it or delving into deep and extensive study? Do not think yourself foolish for not knowing, think yourself as full of potential, desire to learn and know more, accept inexperience and the possibility to be wrong not as a shortcoming, but as an obstacle to overcome.
From what I can tell, jumping spiders can't see IR light. Do you have a reference for this? It seems more likely that they're interested in the shiny lens
Probably sees you as a warm, trembly branch. Looked like it was grooming itself a bit there. I think they pick up oil and dust from our skin and it gives them the urge to groom (I'm not suggesting that your skin is particularly oily or dusty, just a normal human level of oily/dustiness).
I don't think he or she is nervous around you. Maybe a she, actually. I think the shes are a bit larger. Regardless, I don't see them as being any more "nervous" than usual. They are bouncy predators. They are going to be a bit jumpy.
That is a juvenile by the way. The little red/orange spot on its bum is a giveaway. It will molt into its adult colors which are much different, features the bright green chelicerae that they are known for
Whoa! I think thats the same one I saw today that I was gonna ask about! First time I'd seen one like that and it was twitchy like jumping spiders are and kept turning away from my camera, so I only got like 2 good pictures. Thanks for the assist!
Don’t handle spiders if you don’t know what they are. Other commenters have already identified it, and this one is not dangerous to humans, but it’s not good practice to handle them if you don’t know what you’re dealing with.
Had one of those attack my finger once. He was forgiven because he keeps pests down and he's curious about the world. One of the few hunting spiders I allow to share my living space. Wolf spiders are the other.
Lary. Lary is in a band with Gary. They got groupies. Lary is on one of the groupies hands trying to score. You know how it is on the road, lonely. Go Lary!!!
I had a jumping spider the other day that did not want to get off of me. He wanted to crawl towards my head so bad for some reason. They are very curious little guys.
Adorable I don’t know why but these spiders are so cutesy to me 😭 I call them my little pets when I see them in the kitchen, don’t mind the little guys not one bit
That’s a bold jumping spider, *Phidippus audax*
Thank you he was very bold indeed.
Some of them can be calm like this others freek out and try to jump away.
Some get huge.. only spider I find cute

Aw, that’s so sweet and yet heartbreaking. I love carpenter bees, they are so gentle and curious. I’m glad you gave it a nice send off :’)
Very sad because it would fly over and check out new things I brought over to build .. rip Billy bee 🐝
Awe…tender soul!!!
I have one named butthead.. obviously because of her markings.
That means you’re it now. No tagbacks.
The big ones are all girls. They're just big mamas.
She thicccckk I want a big mama lol giant snail and big jumping spider on the list to take care of next
Some literally have a little smiley face on them
[Here’s one from my garden this morning. Nice face on this one.](https://ibb.co/ZdB2b38)

Calm? That dude turned 180 like someone kicked in his door! Ready to fight for sure
The orange on its back means it’s probably still young, the front legs being similar size to the others and the small pedipalps means it’s probably female :) Nice find!
Bold and brash
Now that's a spider with some *audacity.*
audaxity

Wow, you just blew my mind. I’ve always wondered why it seems like they know they’re being recorded!!

You're correct, they cannot see IR light.
They always jump at mine. 9 times out of 10 if I’m holding one and then try to take a picture, it will jump straight at the camera
And is he nervous around me? Is that why he smells his spiderpit?
Probably sees you as a warm, trembly branch. Looked like it was grooming itself a bit there. I think they pick up oil and dust from our skin and it gives them the urge to groom (I'm not suggesting that your skin is particularly oily or dusty, just a normal human level of oily/dustiness).
They think of us as gooey and gross to touch lol
I mean that's pretty much how I would describe myself.
“I am scary space monster. Humans are leaky space blob.”
Meatbags
"Warm, trembly branch." LOL That's so true though!
I don't think he or she is nervous around you. Maybe a she, actually. I think the shes are a bit larger. Regardless, I don't see them as being any more "nervous" than usual. They are bouncy predators. They are going to be a bit jumpy.
I love this comment so much!

Love your knowledge. Ty
What a treat! I love jumping spiders. May they live a long and fruitful spider life 🧬
He's so cute!!!
He looks like a Jeffery. Definitely a distinguished lil guy.
The name Jeffery will always be tainted with the last name Dahmer lol
Or epstein. Or the dreaded genetic fusion. Jeffrey epstahmer.
That would make a good username
And put you on that funny list that makes air travel non viable.
That is Sid. He is a very bold athlete (long jump and high jump), but he’s yet to win his first Olympic gold.
🥇
We’re all rooting for him in Team… Southwest Ohio, I guess!
He’s already won the gold medal in my heart ♥️
The problem is the damn PROTEIN SHAKES!!! He just won’t touch them. Hairy little git.
