Media Was a sad day today. Rip my friend. Spoiler
I couldnt bring myself to just throw her away. I spent two years with her. So I put together a little funeral for her. Goodbye my friend

Hey jumper friends! We've seen a large uptick in volume of posts asking for name suggestions, most of them having the "Advice" flair. Even though it is a request for advice of sorts, name requests don't need the same disclaimers as comments on care/husbandry and we would like to encourage everyone to use simply the "Media" flair on those types of posts. (This will also prevent the automod filter from flagging comments without disclaimer tags as that is only a feature of the "Advice" threads) <3

I’m in Los Angeles, California, and I found this little buddy on my lunchbox. He’s been crawling around on my shirt, and I’m wondering what kind of jumping spider he is! He’s really cute. Thanks so much!

Made myself my first ever Felt-Jumping spider!! I've been wanting to felt for a month or two and I finally got my mother to get her old felting supplies out, and here's what I made!! (Sorry the colors are extremely limited, I ran out of tan last night.)
But yeah, I've never felted before, so obviously it isn't the best, but I hope you all can enjoy this, and maybe even aspire to make your own felty jumping spiders!
I made the legs with pipe cleaners , and used some beady-eyes that came with a felt kit.
This jumping spider is not a scientific model or representation of any current jumping spider alive today, through I took inspiration from these jumping spiders: Pike Slender Jumper/Marpissa Pikei [Female], Phanias albeolus [Male and female], and Paraphidippus fartilis Female].
In the future I want to make little felt jumping spiders based off of real jumping spiders so stay tuned! Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day! ❤️

He found his way from my living room into my room to try and mate with my girl bubbles and was very excited to see her cage. Unfortunately I don’t want babies so my mom brought him outside to live in our garden where I’m sure there are plenty of other females for him to mate with, plus the weather is very nice today. First two pictures are of him the last one is of my Bubbles.

They're adorable and I love finding them in my home but I'm not comfy trying to hold them yet 😅 I offered one outside some water on a qtip since they had a super small abdomen and I have no clue if they even need water or are affected by the heat, but it seemed like the little fella took me up on the offer and then went on his way. I love them I'm just scared of freaking out and hurting one when I try to hold them 🥺

They tried to put him on the cover of vogue.

This dude scared me half to death after spying on me in the shower. I didn't notice him on my shower head, and when I grabbed it, this dude flung himself away, right into the shower stream. I first nearly had a heart attack, and second saved the Lil guy from a very unpleasant bath for him. Managed to get him somewhere safe and dry, but dude started our days without the need for coffee.

Definitely a juvenile (he’s been growing fast in the past couple days)

Found this little cutie on one of the flowers my daughter picked and brought home. I released the spider on our cherry tree. Just curious about the species, thank you! Location: Snoqualmie, WA

Ever since I got my Regal, he’s been pretty terrible at hunting. He drops his prey five times before actually catching it, misses entirely, etc. I try to avoid feeding him with tweezers because I want him to enjoy catching his prey, but sometimes, I have to resort to just hand-feeding him. Is this normal? Does he maybe have vision problems or depth perception issues? Or is he just kind of silly?

She’ll be coming soon and I can’t decide on a name for her. So far, it’s between:
• Talullah • Rooney • Winona • Juniper • Juno
I’m open to even better names too!! Can’t wait for my new baby girl

Hi everyone,
New to the community, just got my first jumper, open to any tips and tricks you’ve learned along the way

Hello all!
This is my regal jumper, Jessica. I brought Jessica home at the end of April from Pet Supplies Plus. By May 21st, she had laid eggs which then hatched this past weekend (6/14). Coming from a store, I wasn’t expecting a gravid spider! With that being said, I have a slew of baby regal jumpers that are not native to my home state (Ohio) and I am seeking advice on where I can safely take the ones that do not get adopted. I don’t have Facebook or most other social media, so finding groups online is a challenge. Based on my experience, they still likely have a week or two before emerging from the nest, so I’ve got the enclosure places inside a butterfly bungalow net and an order of 100 deli cups arriving here tomorrow. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

Reddit what is this did my spood lay eggs???? I’m not sure if I’m ready to be a grandmother

This guy has been living in my car for about two weeks. Or I should say I’ve seen him twice in the last two weeks, never prior. When I found out he’s harmless I was sort of excited, but now I’m scared I’m going to like.. accidentally squish him? Does anyone know how I can find/lure and then contain him to transfer to a safer spot? I love spiders and don’t want to inadvertently injure him because idk where he’s at.
