    I had a jumping spider who adopted me in Arkansas. He was about 1.5 inches across with a black and white checkered body with blue turquois eyes - (they weren't really eyes, because he had 8 others, in addition. I put him in the yard, and 2 days later he was back in my living room. They I put him in the back yard, and 2 days later he was back in my living room. So I told him, "you can stay here, just watch out for the cat". So he did, he lived with us for 3 years till I moved. Every once in a while I would say, "I wonder where the spider is?" and he would pop out and show me. Very quiet and well-behaved houseguest! LOL I will never forget him.

      Yes!!! Your comment makes me happy. Arachnophobia can be overcome…I’m living proof of that. Studying them helps a lot. There’s a cute cartoon series on UA-cam about a little spider named Lucas, who was created specifically to help people overcome fear of spiders because he’s so adorable and sweet. Another thing that helped, for me, was to befriend an orb weaver spider that set up a huge web on my back porch. I named her and tossed crickets into her web. And I was sad when she passed away as winter approached.

    We have 2 types of jumping spider in our garden and they really do have amazing eyesight. You can make movement 90 degrees to their front, and they always spin round to look at what made the movement. Then they'll either come and investigate, or they run off a short distance, then spin around to see where you are now or if you are still where they left you. 1 type of spider is small and has little compact legs, and the other type has longer legs except for their front legs which are extra long. I later found out that only the males have the longer front legs as they use them to do a dance and tap out a rhythm to entice a female to mate. I used to be heavily arachnophobic, but little guys like these with little attitudes have dulled the fear a bit. If a large spider is on me though, a spontaneous slap dance might still occur. Accompanied by little girl screams from a 50 year old man

      Jumping spiders are way too cute. Crab spiders can also be quite striking. A lot of them like to hide in flowers or leaves to ambush their prey, so their natural camouflage will be patterned to blend in with their surroundings.

So you can say they dont use math or evolve by learning from other animals however that ideal is simply false. Not only have they learned from Hundreds if not thousands of species they have encountered over time, those that build homes show a natural talent in engineering and structural integrity. A spider can make a web able to trap creatures many times its weight. A group of beavers can stop a raging river. A group of killer whales can work in tandem while using sonar to map the environmental data in their head and instantly process how to respond to it. None of these are small feats, and though mankind can easily beat most of these achievements, the reality is it's a small number of people who accomplish these feats.

      Because a computer makes life and everything else. DNA code comes from a computer. Why do you think outer space is dark and airless. It is inside a picture tube. Big bang turns it on.

    Jumping spiders are the cutest and most fun little critters to play with when you find them near the law. They jump from hand to hand, climb their lanyard and repeat. They will just sit on your palm and rest, then tickle their way to your fingertips and jump again.
    Just put them down gently in a safe place when you are done :)

      I can imagine it takes a lot of time and dedication. They use Macro lenses which can magnify very tiny things.

    Portia is quite the lady. And adorable. The dancing spider was fascinating to watch. Tarantulas can live for 30 years? I did not know that. Having watched this video i have a whole new respect for spiders.

      The females can live for 30 years. The males do not live nearly as long.

    As a long time supporter of Team Jumping Spider, the clever and funny anthropomorphism in the first clip was brilliant.
    Such a great way of turning these amazing little creatures from something creepy/scary into something fascinating, and Beeb Earth does it very well.

      That's interesting, they like camera lenses and being watched, especially Phiddipus audax, Bold Jumping Spiders. I've had them pose and ham it up for me and my camera. They're definitely intelligent.

    The video and timing is so good, cinematically, it's honestly hard for me to believe this was filmed in the wild, with actual living animals. In our CGI, AI era, this is exactly what we need.
