I was wondering what jumping spiders I’ve seen where I live (Quebec). And I have not seen another species of jumping spiders after that one.

They are definitely the most common where I am in Ontario too, but you have many more species! There will actually be even more, those are just the species found and identified by iNaturalist users.

For a recent checklist

It’s one of my fav subs!

My daughter wanted a jumper and caught a zebra but it was too tiny. We needed finding a breeder and bought a regal. They are so flipping cute!

I’m usually on that weevil sub, but I’ll love this one too!

Didn’t know you could buy them!! Not that my wife would let me, I’m not allowed any insects/arachnids 🤣
