I like the way they look around. This one just looked above.

Looks like it's about to strike! With a look like that, I wouldn't be getting too close

Oh it's fairly big for a jumping spider, but still under 1cm (7-8mm). I think it is harmless for humans.

Your afraid of SPIDERS! Just let one get on me.

I will raise enough dust to suggest that there had been a large meteor strike somewhere on the planet.

That is a cool jumper by the way.

I have warmed up to them just a bit over the months, them and tarantulas when I lived in Arkansas but not enough to get cozy with either. I used to take a stick and poke at tarantulas to make them stand up like this jumper is doing.

I think jumping spiders have such great personallities and they are sorta cute for spiders IMO. He is about as hairy as I am
