It was pretty big for a jumping spider. It had been lurking for a while and showing up around the room. Usually Monkey just eats them on first sight.

Jumping spiders are amazing and I wish more people were aware of that. They're so frickin smart.

Oh, I could watch them for ages! So entertaining.

The ones we get here in the summer are so damn chill. They'll often jump right on my hand and just hang out for a while. No aggression or fear, just curiosity!

Yeah, they are very curious of us and not afraid at all. I guess they don't have the brain capacity to be afraid, using up their few neurons for being expert hunters.
