      I absolutely love jumpers too!

      Random story, sorta sad, but has a good ending…

      One day a jumping spider landed on the back of my neck. I didn’t see it, but of course I felt it. Out of instinct, I slapped my neck. I got the little bugger alright, but I was all too sad when I saw that it was a jumper ☹️

      I put the little guy on the park bench, two legs broken off and not moving. I was so sad that I sat there for a while, occasionally blowing on it to see if there were any signs of life. After probably like 40 minutes or so, it actually got up and ran away 👍

      I hope it went on to eat more flies, lay eggs and have lots of babies…

      🕷️❤️

    “So you’re a real spider?”
    ….totally.
    “Well what do we like?”
    Uh…catching stuff to eat. Looking fuzzy.
    “Okay, you’re in.”
