A bold jumping spider (Phidippus audax), that's its name not disposition, was watching us garden. We moved it to the flower patch to avoid possibly stepping on it.

CW: Jumping spider updates
I can't talk about a #Spood without also providing updates on the jumpers.
Claudia, may she rest in peace, is preserved in IPA in a small jar nowadays. Some of her clutches have definitely survived. Not counting the escape artists, or the wild clutches, we have Sam and Ivy. They're too small for "proper" portraits, but I'm going to try and come back to them in a future post. Sam is a lil chubby. Ivy is a lil wobbly.
The one currently pictured is Missy, short for "Lil Miss can't pick a fucking name" (reference to Hazbin Hotel). She hitchhiked on my person one day and clearly felt I was taking her to safety. Which wasn't exactly wrong. She's spoiled and gets to eat many flightless fruit flies, and mealworms and also clutches of unfertilized eggs. She never nated, so she'll lay eggsacs that don't hatch, and then brood for a few weeks before coming out of her ever growing hammock network. She's _fat_ nowadays. And she's very entertaining when hunting flies and worms.

Well, hello my teeny friend! Long time no see!

#CW for spiders
So, in a prior post I talked about Claudia the bold jumper, that was also gravid and has had at least two clutches of eggs since we had been spoiling her with mealworms. She's in a more controlled diet, because that many grandbabies are difficult to handle. Plus she's fond of snacking on them.
Claudia is currently in a "retirement" enclosure with netting along all the sides and more accessible ledges as she doesn't have the best grip in old age.
Pictured are shells from a recent molt of one of the slings from Claudia clutch 1. Being able to have an intact helmet as they molt to i5 is delightful because look at how cool it is!
Also pictured is the spood before the molt, and then a different spood that we affectionately call "Little Miss can't pick a fucking name" because it was funny at the time. She hitchhiked on my person one day a month or so ago, and is currently habitating in Claudias previous enclosure.

Hello, I am a spider. Will you be my friend?
😀
I photographed this little guy on the weekend in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ. It's an Australian Bronze Hopper, Helpis minitabunda. Introduced accidentally to NZ, it now occurs throughout the North Island and upper to middle South Island.
This species is unusual amongst spiders in that the male is larger than the female.

Evening walk in local park and saw a tiny flash of colour in the grass, Lo and behold a peacock spider. Never thought I’d see one. Apologies for photo quality. iPhone camera not good at 3mm moving objects.
Made my year.

This one is a jumping spider, right? I find it irresistibly cute, hanging out upside down, dancing. 💕🕷️💃✨

It's October 1st, which means it is well and truly spooky season. In honor of which, please enjoy this very tiny spider.

Was lying on a bench reading #KumoDesu when I noticed this little guy reading with me :o
Jumped away a moment later though; probably already read the books now that I think about it!

A Heavy Jumper (Hyllus diardi) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 23 Aug 2025. A curious fellow, it kept turning to face me.
On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/308391104 ].

The mystery eggs have hatched! Look at the little i1 slings. So cute! I wonder which species they are!

#CW for #Spider #JumpingSpider and #Mealworm
Claudia has been brooding super hard for a while and she deserved a special treat. I was pleased with this video clip of her getting a mealworm.
Yes, she is indeed named after the character in Interview with the Vampire.

A very cute jumping spider (not sure of the exact species), they’re very curious creatures! I recorded this with my iPhone and a cheap macro lens on December 2018.

Some #southernEuropean #species #spread #northwards independently (=#biologicalcolonization) or establish there after human transport (= #neobiota), both favored by #globalwarming. Another option is synanthrope north expansion as in #jumpingspider #Pseudeuophrys #lanigera, since 1950s in #Germany, but originally from southwestern Europe.

CW: Spiders, spiderlings, jumping spoods
#CW for #Spider and #Spiderlings
So Claudia is the Bold #JumpingSpider that we adopted from our mailbox a while ago https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114713279318659153
She'd been in her hammock for a couple of weeks and we figured she's probably molting. Well, she didn't molt. And now I guess I'm a grandparent? While I may be barren, my spoods are clearly not so. And now I know she's gravid so this won't be the last batch either.
Also, despite the looming silhouette vibe going in this picture, Claudia is rather timid. She's still got just the 7 legs and I hope she can regrow it some when she eventually molts.

🔎 MYSTERY EGGS 🕷️
¿Who’s inside this webbed capsule?I found this abandoned egg sac, and I’m almost certain it belongs to a Salticid.
But Salticidae is a huge family... so WHO exactly is inside?
My guess, based on the shape, location, and local species, is Astia maculata.
But it could just as easily be Servaea, Clynotis, Apricia… or someone unexpected...
I’m really excited to find out 🐣👀

I also have some sad news. I had to say goodbye to one of my best friends yesterday. RIP Sówka. She was such a clever girl and she always brightened up my day. I'm heartbroken, I can't believe she's gone. It was very sudden. My little owl.

#CW for pictures of a jumping spider eating an earwig.
#SpidersOfMastodon #JumpingSpider fans, I am trying to name this male dimorphic jumping spider. In case you don't want to look at the pictures, he's the kind with the black body, cute little mohawk and light brown legs. The #AltText is also worth a read.
What are your suggestions?

This cute jumping spider (#Carrhotus xanthogramma) loves warm places. In Germany it is only found in the southern half of the country.

Zebra jumping spider!
This was on a sign in Stanley Park, Vancouver.
Getting into photographic tiny creatures is one of the big reasons I got a macro lens. Turns out it's pretty tricky to do well (especially since I don't have a flash right now), but I thought these shots turned out at least ok!#MacroPhotography #Fujifilm #JumpingSpider #VancouverCanada #StanleyPark #MacroBugs

One of the resident house jumping spiders was visiting this morning.

So the bold jumper makes it's appearance at times in the house. The other day it was in the bathroom sink, fell down the drain.I found a string and got it hoisted out of the water it was floating in. Put in the sunny window sill. It came to life, proceeded to clean itself, or give me a thumbs up. Yesterday it was on the ceiling above me as I woke up. Today it strolled across the counter to where I was sitting and said hello I guess.
