spider
Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? For scale, it's somewhere around half a centimeter long.
I have a number of them living in my apartment. (This one isn't anymore, though... it was on *me* and then on my desk.)

I believe it is a type of jumping spider.
ReplyDeleteThat's my guess too. I was kind of second guessing myself, though, because all the descriptions of jumping spiders I found online said they were much bigger.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... perhaps it is a zebra spider:

bleh! It's an ugly spider. Evil spider. Must die spider!
ReplyDeletei don't know what kind of spider it is, but i think it's a beauty. spiders get a bad rap; they used to be considered sacred to the goddess - they weave the web of life...
ReplyDeleteI think they're actually kind of cute, especially the way they rear up and watch you (and the approaching kleenex of death). If I wasn't so lazy (and the outside so far away), I'd take them outside rather than killing them. But they do kind of give me the heebie-jeebies, especially when they're crawling on me. (Which is why I allow them on the ceiling, but not at my level, or in the shower. Yes, there was one dangling in the shower that one day...
ReplyDeleteI guess he didn't read your spider rules. Oh, well. In my way of thinking, the only good spider is a dead spider!
