so busy!!!Great pix.... and info. Where have you been.... Missed you on the pond.
I was pestering one out in the front yard when I was about sixteen... Just gently redirecting its travel so I could see it better... Mom called out from the kitchen... Be Careful Tarantulas can jump about three feet... she went on doing dishes.... Dont know if its true but I stopped messing with it after that.... LOL.

I love love love jumping spiders..... always have.LOL I would probably pester one just to see if it could jump that far
We have these little tiny spiders that I call jumping spiders - their sort of fuzzy - I just love to watch them and pester them - they will back, back, back, then finally put of their front legs, then if you antagonize them a leeeetle bit more, they pounce - LOL (it's pitiful, I've done this since I was a kid and well, close to 1/2 a century later, I still do it)
but of course, these are not Tarantulas either!
btw - @DwayneNLiz great link!
See and you all thought I was crazy calling them wonderful pets.I usually uncover 1-2 ever year while mowing the lawn they seem to always survive that unscathed. Either that or I only find the survivors and the rest became fertilizer. I have yet to find a region of Texas where those critters do not live and were I interested could catch 2+ nightly. They are paracitized by the scariest looking wasps I have ever seen on this planet to lay the next generation of freaky looking wasps.
