Gale The Jumping Spider by Kittilot

A quick doodle of my lost baby. I miss her so much. On a side note, try to learn about these cute buggers. They are great pets--you can feed them flies, pantry moths but not ants. They pest control well. Very friendly and tiny, but some could be aggressive. They don't need heat lamps or substrate, just a giant jar with holes poked out will do. #jumpingspider #spider #gale #female #timid #fuzzy

Jumping spiders are venomous, but only enough to stun TINY insects. Jumping spiders (cont'd)

(cont'd) the most diverse and widely spread spider in the world, making up THIRTEEN percent of ALL spiders worldwide, with 3,000 different species, located in every area on EARTH except the icecaps. Yes, even Northern Canada and Russia.

They rarely bite when handled, and harmless to humans ^^"

All Arachnids are cool to me if it wasn´t for these Daddy Longlegs. They seriously freak me out and I´m always afraid of breaking them apart just by touching them. Even worse I live in a region where they´re really common to be found inside of houses D:

Jumping spiders are so adorable! One time I held my hand up to one and it jumped on my hand! :D

Jumping spiders? Teensy tiny. 22 mm at the most, and that's the african varieties...They're mostly very sweet, but are genius hunters. Very smart, good vision.

Fun fact: Camel spiders are false spiders. 10 legs, right?

They are the only spider that will make eye contact.

...tis slightly startling. :p

Cool pic. I've had a couple of jumping spiders myself in the past, but I wasn't very good at taking care of them. They're definitely adorable and cooler than other spiders (in my opinion, haha).

Also, fun fact for you guys: euophrys omnisuperstes, the Himalayan jumping spider lives at the highest elevation of all jumping spiders and is, in fact, one of the highest living creatures on earth!
