lowspeedchaseCaught this little pervert watching me work!
ekZeppThe fact that you call him pervert because he’s watching you “work”, raise some questions on the latter.
A little elbow grease, really putting my back into it…
ThorrySex work is work though
Jerb322Some jumping spiders show signs of thinking and planning while hunting their prey. More than thought possible before some studies. Nice picture.
moondoggietldr: YOU ARE PREY!!!
kakler bitmapThey also appear to enter REM sleep! Excellent video on spider cognition:
Spider Cognition: How Tiny Brains Do Mighty Things
Much like with a bear or a big cat attack - if it happens I’m gonna try to sneak in one last lil pet!
(Reminds me of Spaceman.)
Jumpers are the best, they are legit adorable 😍
They’re cute, smart, friendly, and hunt other spiders. What’s not to love?
Not sure where you’re located, but it looks like a hungry little female Regal
PNW - I thought it would be a male with the colorful patterns but that’s my bird brain lol
If you’re in the PNW it’s not likely a Regal. It could be a Bold? I cant see the shape of the pedipalps in the pic but I still think it’s a female just based on the big ol’ booty
Does this help? Junk in the trunk confirmation:
What, exactly, is the job? …. I mean what’s the position called? …
Ok, the subject was super cute so you had your work cut out for you, however technically getting a fairly good pic like that took some effort (or luck, if you took only one pic), gg!
Thanks!
One of my old flats, I would sometimes see a small jumping spider staring at me from the sink, while I was trying to poop. And we’d always have to have a small discussion about boundaries, and "please don’t jump on me, I can literally see you thinking about it
Cute little shits, and they never did jump on me while I was pooping… but they always reminded me that it was an option
They are the most adorable little spiders. One time I was at the park with my kids and I had a cold drink that had condensation on the outside. There was a jumping spider on the table I was sitting at. I put down my drink, he comes and drinks the condensation. I pick it up for a drink, he retreats. Rinse and repeat for half an hour. I was so delighted, it was delightful.
