    This is why I love jumping spiders.

    I’d be terrified of a huntsmen spider, but I love jumping spiders i leave them be whenever I see them, knowing that they will snack on all the fruit flies, moths, and mosquitoes that make it into my house.

      My wife is arachnophobic, but likes jumping spiders. Most of the phobia seems to be in the legs, since they have such stumpy ones.

      I love jumpers because they’re cute. The anime sized front facing eyes and movements that make them look so damn curious all the time—I just can’t get over those.
