#Arachtober 10th is International Jumping Spider Day! Jumping Spider Day began in 2017 to show the cutest and most adorable spiders as a way for people to embrace instead of fear spiders. It was created by Shaham Tamir, a macro photographer, similar to how Ashley and I started Arachtober 19 years ago.

#Arachtober 10: happy #InternationalJumpingSpiderDay! Here is one of my favourite species, the peppered jumper _Pelegrina galathea_, seen recently. I find the females' patterns so mesmerizing. This one is brown but they can also be just black and white.

While I've found them in all manner of places, I've found that tansy flower heads are a good place to look for them. They like to make little silk retreats under the dense canopy of flowers.

It’s been a while since I last found a jumping spider so here’s one from the archives.
