Think we have a new addiction

It’s been two years since my last! She so little

Just molted and is growing up 🩷

Edit: he looks a little skinny I know but he just ate a couple days ago and I’m feeding again today!

My sister and her 10-year-old daughter went away for a week, so they brought their little jumper to stay with me while they were gone. He was wild-caught and already quite old, and my sister mentioned that he had become pretty “lazy” over the last few days.

Unfortunately, that didn’t change, and his time came while he was staying with us.

It wasn’t a huge surprise, but it was still really sad — especially knowing how much a 10-year-old girl can get attached to such a tiny creature.

So I decided to take one last portrait of him for her, so she’d have something to remember her little guy by.

These are probably the last portraits he ever posed for. ❤️🕷️

Meet my baby draculaura!

My first lil jumping spider, a regal apalachicola, molted a week ago, based on what I was told she should be i7 now 🥹

Sweetest little bug I own, I’ve loved getting to know her!

Only thing I’m struggling with since getting her is what size feeders she should be on, the seller gave me melanogaster fruit flies but those seemed far too small so I moved her up to hydei, but if they are supposed to have prey more equal in size to their body, she’s more on par with bottle flies 😬 I’m a lil bit lost!

I love their sweet little faces so much. She was gently relocated outside.

She’s about 19 months old and I’ve noticed her losing her grip. I’m worried she doesn’t feel like she’s climbing and that might be stressful for her.

hi everyone! sorry for posting so much, I’m just a curious mom haha.

I got Ghostface from Petsmart (I know I’m sorry) and naturally that means we haven’t the foggiest on what life stage he’s in. Can anyone help me try and lock down where he is roughly?

I don’t think he’s fully mature because his pedipalps don’t look like how I thought they should, but he also hasn’t been making any webs so I don’t know if he will molt again or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

my camera sucks so not the best photo but ugh she’s so friggin cute i love her alreadyy
name suggestions? i have no ideas

I saw this one on a wall outside a shop randomly.

I don't see them in the wild much. But these are the most common species in the UK I believe.

Found this absolute UNIT of a Tan Jumper on our porch today. Dude was about an inch long, if not slightly over. Very friendly as well.

She is super tiny so the photos are crusty lmao

I have yet to know what kind of jumping spider Slothette is. She is the first ever insect I could not image-reverse search with success. None of the jumping spiders I see are anywhere close like her, so identification is welcome! [El Paso Texas]

I got this P. Audax- not sure on the sex though
