1. theyre kinda cute
2. My jumping spider can kill it
3. A few days ago I saw a jumping spider on my Nepenthes pitcher plant, so I took him off so he wouldn't accidentally slip into the pitcher. Anyway, he crawled away and ended up on my Venus Flytrap. Again, I tried taking him off to keep him from dying, but he leapt towards me, so I flipped out and ran away, and when I came back to look for him, I realized I stepped on him...
   
   Or her, I'm not assuming it's gender.
   
   There should be a flipping pronoun to describe an animal who's gender you don't know. Besides 'it,' 'cause that's just rude.
4. lol at 2:00 the spider's just like "AYYYYYYY"
5. :::3
6. Beautiful!
7. fascinating!!! even if i'm terrified of spiders!
8. fascinating :p
9. One of my favorite animals.    [ :
10. and they're adorable
11. As strange and absurd as that comparison might've sounded to the untrained mind, do well to understand that size difference is the main driving factor in such feats. If humans were that size(and adapted to live as such) we'd be capable of more or less the same thing. With a few minor differences in balance, and muscle types. It's hard to tell.
12. Nunu puffin!
13. I love Jumpers I get them all the time where I live
14. The music makes this much more graceful.
15. Animal rights activists keep protesting animal lives matter or something like that, but i bet you if one of these spiders jumped on them they would kill the spiders immediately
16. Hyllus diardi = Hyllus giganteus (??)
17. This must be a evolutionary advantage for the Jumping spider, that they are typically very cute and that makes them less prone to being squashed by mentally unstable people.
18. They look cute and terrifying at the same time. SCARY ADORABLENESS ^w^
19. I want one so badly
20. I'm free, free flyin🎤
