a photo of a bold jumper male eating a moth in its enclosure.
psy hates rollie pollies and loves moths. before he attacked his meal he looked at me when his little spooder eyes and i heard him say…”for me? 🥹”. after his meal he was hopping across the leaves in his enclosure.

A learning experience for sure! Not every moult goes to plan… 🥺
This little girl mismoulted at i6 and lost her fangs. This is something that can happen when a moult doesn’t shed cleanly 🧵 (1/3) #jumpingspider
If he likes you, he’ll do a little dance🥺

Bumble is going to be a dad! 😍
How does he celebrate? Just a bit of jumping, exploring, and carrying on as usual 🤣 That’s pretty typical for male jumping spiders though… but it still feels like a big moment for such a tiny creature.
We're excited for the next generation 💛 #jumpingspider
NATUREEEE FUCK YEAH #bee #jumpingspider #flowers #nature #backyardfinds i watched two male cardinals fight in the tree behind me while i was getting pics of the jumping spider 😭😭
There's a little Zebra Spider (jumping spider) inside the screen of my patio door, patiently waiting for a snack. Decided it was time to get out my new lens and play around a bit. #spoods #spiders #photography #bugs #jumpingspider
We have some awesome news! 🎉
Bumble is officially a dad! His babies are currently i1, so they have one more moult until they properly disperse the nest and start exploring.
We're so proud of him and Maple 🥹 #jumpingspider
FINALLY! We can post again!
Bumble has something to tell you all 🤭 #announcement #jumpingspider

photo of a black and red leafwalker fly on a dirty fence railing with the out-of-focus jumping spider plus prey looming ominously in the background. the leafwalker fly kept flying away but then coming back to the same spot, leaving me to wonder if the departed leafwalker left some pheromones before becoming lunch.
today i saw this canopy jumping spider acquire lunch and widow a leafwalker fly

I found this jumper a couple months ago in my van and brought her out to my elephant ear. I thought she left, until today! I was watering and out she came! She’s huge! I’m pretty sure she laid some eggs too! Her name is Myrtle. #boldjumpingspider #jumpingspider #ilovespiders #naturespestcontrol
Not every jumping spider loves the feeling of human skin, and that’s okay 🥹
It’s a good reminder that handling isn’t about us. It’s about what they feel safe with 🩵 #jumpingspider
Our new boy moutled and is looking as gorgeous as ever! But there's a problem... He still doesn't have a name! 😭
We plan on pairing him with Willow, so anything related to that would be super cute! 🩵 #jumpingspider
We don't think it worked 😂 #jumpingspider

Watching them slow down is never easy...
Less jumping, more resting... but it’s all part of growing older ❤️ They just need a little more patience, comfort, and gentle love now.
You’re not doing anything wrong, this is just a softer chapter 🥹 #jumpingspider #wholesome
You haven't seen this fella in a while, and it's because he's a hammock dweller 😂 So when he came to the door, we were elated! Plus, we can now announce his name.
Everyone meet... Fletcher (because his abdomen colour reminds us of the Pokémon, Fletchling) 🥹 #jumpingspider
Will Fletcher drink the water droplet? 🤔 #jumpingspider
Play gyms aren’t just cute, they give our jumping spiders a chance to explore, climb, and use their natural instincts just like they would in the wild. From little jumps to curious investigating, it’s all about keeping their minds and bodies active 🧡 #jumpingspider
⚠ TRIGGER WARNING ARACHNOPHOBIA ! ⚠
Been gone for awhile, but coming back soon with a little someone...

Couldn't NOT do another photoshoot with Cheeto. We've never had a spider so orange before 🥹 Isn't she beautiful? 😍 #jumpingspider
A jumping spider from the genus Mexigonus, still undescribed.
Little creatures like this are what make it worth going out to take photos. 🕷️📸

What happens when we introduce our new spider to a play gym? 🥺
Requests uppies…
immediately yeets into adventure…
then falls in love with a piece of twine 🥹
Just a tiny explorer in a big new world 🤍 #jumpingspider
A jumping spider is upside down on the roof of her enclosure, looking right at the camera. Her face is orange while the rest of her from the angle is black and white.
a perfect reflection 🪞💕 #spider #jumpingspider #regaljumpingspider #phidippusregius #arachnophiles
It's safe to say Hana loves water 🥹
We saw another creator on Instagram do this, so we thought we'd give it a go! And we were pleasantly surprised at the results. If you remember who the creator was, feel free to tag them below (as we cannot remember their @) #wholesome #jumpingspider
