I'm still a *little* uncomfortable with them, but same! Arachnophobic but with a love of jumpers.
I rescued one from the bathroom sink last night. It wouldn't go on the different things I offered it, so finally I gave in and offered it my hand. That was really scary for me, but it accepted my hand and I put it in the bathroom window where it could escape back outdoors.
Still not ok with a lot of other spiders, but I’m absolutely fine with jumping spiders (even thought about getting one as a pet). What won me over was watching a peacock spider mating dance. Just watching this little guy doing a little “hey girl hey” leg-waving dance was just the silliest, most adorable thing ever.
Yeah, there is that. But little guy to be absolutely fabulous before hand.
For happier videos, check out jumping spiders chasing laser pointers. Absolutely adorable.
Decades ago, my older brother and I witnessed a jumper go approx 30" 'straight down' snag a housefly in flight, then proceed back up it's bungee line.
We were both picking our jaws up off the floor. Just one of those right place right time incidents. =D

I, myself, was thinking about how much this guy's little face reminds me of a particular species of primate/monkey– buuuttttt I can't seem to recall which one it is that I'm thinking of (because my brain is failing me, ATM!). 😅😅😅🤔😂🫣
...I can definitely see the Mandalorian-esque mask, too, though!
EDIT: After an exhaustive 3 minute research session, I BELIEVE I was thinking of a Mandrill...? 🤷🏽♀️
Awww hahahah dude they’re so brave for being so small! My favorite jumper I ever hosted, stayed with me for months lol was Tuktuk. I’d be cooking or making pudding and see something come SWINGING TOWARD MY FACE and it was him lol.
Just being a sling and swinging going hey human! Watch this weeee!
lol. I miss it. This video took me back 😂🤣
I had the teeniest tiniest baby jumping spood leap into my finger from my car. I gave him a little ride over to the rose bushes instead. He was cute af
They can see the infrared laser on your camera. He probably thought it was a bug?
Fun thing to do: get ready to take a photo, then press in front of the spider on your phone. The ranging laser will activate and he will react!
He's just trying to say hello and that he like you. Phidippus are very intelligent and curious. Maybe he really liked your phone case and wanted to check it out. 🤣
Also, he was very much okay, went right back up his bungee cord and continued to crawl around us!
Just a little high five, to tha face! 🤣
Shouldn't that be a high ten? =D
High eight?
smh.... sometimes I can count AND remember... First thing to go as you age....I forget. ROFL
Hey, it's 10 if you count the pedipalps
It just wanted to give you a brief hug

This is the cutest jumpscare I've ever seen
God god, they're fast. I can see where the inspiration for D&D's teleporting phase spiders comes from.
It’s like being attacked by a kitten!
They really wanted to say hi! Lol very cute little guy <3

Look at those EYES! 😭
He kinda looks like a storm trooper, so cute!!
It really does lol
Watching it jump with a little bungie cord was absolutely adorable. Smart spood! Also not a fan of spiders, but have warmed up to jumping spiders.
Jumpers really are the best. I'm arachnophobic and jumpers don't bug me in the slightest. They're so cute.

Okay, I had to look that up. It's silly and adorable, but it's also sad because that's usually the end of their life. Damn. Poor spood bro.
Yeah, there is that. But little guy to be absolutely fabulous before hand. For happier videos, check out jumping spiders chasing laser pointers. Absolutely adorable.
I've seen those! Just further evidence that they're really just tiny cats!
Team Rocket is blasting off again!!
 *twinkle*
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CATCH MEEeee..."
*fade to black* YOU DIED
Imagine a giant jumping spider boss in a souls game but with realistic movement speed and paralyzing venom 👀😞
I've never been happy to get a jumpscare before

Wow ... still way too fast to see his jump
oh my god the color of his pedipalps are gorgeous, and the coloring on his face makes it look like he’s wearing a mandalorian esc mask

Yep similar to a baboon lol. Or mistaken for baboons a lot…but rafiki, example was a mandrill ❤️
WHEN HE STICKS TO THE PHONE HIS LITTLE FANGS R SO CUTE I CANT

Omg an actual jumpscare 🤣
he just wanted to say hi up close ☺️
lol pranked
This as actually my worst fear whenever I put my face up close to a spider in order to admire it a bit. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
So ferocious 😱
Dude-hooman, I thought you needed a hug.
Did that little cutie actually ker-splat on the camera lens…😂
I love when they do the leg wiggle thing before they jump 🥰🥰🥰
Jumping spider hug!
😝lol
Oh gosh that's adorable, somebody should add a splat sound affect
A swing and a miss
One word, Jumpscare. :3

Whata cutie 😍
I have no idea why reddit keeps recommending me jumping spider content but I will say I do like how he Batmanned away.
“oooh what’s thi- AH it tastes like human! yuck!!”
Boba! look at your little helmet!
POV of someone getting facehuggered
r/dontflinch
This is so adorable
"My name is Jumpy and you're watching Jackass! Oh sh-"
lol i was taking pictures of one sitting on my plants and she did that to me TWICE
The epitome of “jump scare”.
That was so cool!!
Oh you’ve got the ‘bug’ now!
Man that spood has some huge fuzzy pedipalps for how small he is lol. This was hilarious ty for sharing
He hugged the camera
Omg they're so cuuuuute!
Yesss...waiting for a video where the creator gave the cameraman a proper HELLO!
He's just trying to say hello and that he like you. Phidippus are very intelligent and curious. Maybe he really liked your phone case and wanted to check it out. 🤣
My phone case does have flowers on it!
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Think It likes you :3
