That's no jumper, that's a runner, and it'll make you fall all over yourself. Looks kind of like a hobo spider.

I like to run from them...


j/k but I have been chased by spiders here in Guam before, the giant crab spider. Not normally scared of spiders but this thing jumped off my grill and made a b-line starigh for my foot, talk about a crazy experience!

oh and watch this well done video! Beautiful music to a moving jumping spider. the scene where it scares itself in the mirror is cute!

I find all spiders terribly interesting, but jumpers and tarantulas are the only ones I can cuddle up to. Probably because they are fuzzy, round of eye, and chubbier. Helps negate their very long, very eight legs. Seriously, how many legs do you need?

Jumpers are cute, and fun to play with. I don't see them very often around here.
My favorites are still "daddy long legs". I used to have a few that I kept as pets. I even successfully bred them, and got a few sacs of babies to hatch out. I love playing with itty bitty baby Pholcidae.

I didn't even read the op's post.
Why are there soooo many spider stories here???
Dont yall know there are people like me that will wreck my truck if I see a spider in there.

I hate spiders.....YUCKY......

Especially the jumpy ones. Oh and the black furry ones.
