My jumping spider gave me babies!! 🥹💕
I rescued Phineas from my car in October and have had her since, she was an injured and mature female Phanias harfordi so I have had no idea how long she’ll be be with me or if I would be lucky enough to get babies from her before she passes, but this week my dreams came true! It’s sad knowing she’s probably gonna be slowing down soon and I don’t know how much longer she’ll live, but today she is doing great, filling up on a dubia nymph, and busy being the bestest mama in the world ❤️ These slings are so microscopic it’s hard to get a good shot of them but seeing those little toes wiggling around is so precious 😭

Despite being bros, do you have any specific spideys that still spook you real good? Mine are wolf spiders
They are SO big, so fast, and show up in places where they are unexpected or places where folks are not accustomed to big ol' critters! But like, we're still bros and I have so much respect for them. We pass on the sidewalk with a nod like, go on about your day bro.
🕷️🎩✋...👌🎩🚶♂️
Wolf bros probably have a similar reaction when they see me though haha. We're both like aaaaaahhh together.
(I also get really spooked by no longer alive spiders, they make me squirm)
What about you? Are you fully desensitized or do you have things that make you spooked sometimes lol?

Morning companion
This spiderbro came to take a drink while I was washing dishes this morning. What kind if spider are they?

What kind of spider is this? I live in Vegas and it's about the size of a dime. At least need to know if it's dangerous so I can decide if it goes outside or gets a pass to stay inside.

I don’t want to cry wolf spider, but he’s next to the bed and will remain there. Hope he doesn’t crawl on me in my sleep.

Medusa (Big Bertha 2.0 aka Ripley) taking shelter from the rain 😂
My son changed her name again so hopefully this one sticks 😂 her big beautiful web has been broken up since the last big storm, now it’s even more broken. I’m hoping she rebuilds it where it was cause I like seeing her every day.
