I can't talk about a #Spood without also providing updates on the jumpers.

Claudia, may she rest in peace, is preserved in IPA in a small jar nowadays. Some of her clutches have definitely survived. Not counting the escape artists, or the wild clutches, we have Sam and Ivy. They're too small for "proper" portraits, but I'm going to try and come back to them in a future post. Sam is a lil chubby. Ivy is a lil wobbly.

The one currently pictured is Missy, short for "Lil Miss can't pick a fucking name" (reference to Hazbin Hotel). She hitchhiked on my person one day and clearly felt I was taking her to safety. Which wasn't exactly wrong. She's spoiled and gets to eat many flightless fruit flies, and mealworms and also clutches of unfertilized eggs. She never nated, so she'll lay eggsacs that don't hatch, and then brood for a few weeks before coming out of her ever growing hammock network. She's _fat_ nowadays. And she's very entertaining when hunting flies and worms.

#CW for #Spider #JumpingSpider and #Mealworm

Claudia has been brooding super hard for a while and she deserved a special treat. I was pleased with this video clip of her getting a mealworm.

Yes, she is indeed named after the character in Interview with the Vampire.

Found a little friend at work today. Xysticus punctatus, a crab spider who was terrified of me but hopefully grateful I moved them to the garden. 🕷️🤎
