BIG NEWS! 🎉

We're now raising Phidippus Apacheanus 😍 This is a new species of jumping spider for us, and we're super excited. We're so tempted to call this one Wotsit (if you're British you'll know why 🤣) They're too young to s3x, but we have a hunch that this one could be a girl 🥹

Welcome home to the newest spider in the Fellowship! Their name is Lentil and they're an Apache jumping spider (Phidippus apacheanus)

[ID: Two pictures of a small black and red jumping spider. In the first picture it's a top view, the spider is standing on kitchen towel on top of cardboard. In the second picture they're perched on Starlight's finger, facing sideways with their front legs waving around looking for somewhere to jump]

This has to be the CALMEST spider we've ever had 😮

Something really cool about jumping spiders, they can take down prey up to 4x their own size! Pumpkin here got to enjoy a nice mealworm today 🥰

I’m turning my lil’ man Pumpkin’s enclosure into a D&D boss arena o.o ( based on a suggestion by @the-long-dog ) We’re starting with a castle, then gonna add a broken down cart and a couple dead trees to make a spooky forest.
