    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…

    🕷️❤️
