Species Maevia inclemens – Dimorphic Jumper – BugGuide.Net
Thanks for the ID! I’ve recently been overcoming my arachnophobia and actually am going out looking for them now. The other jumper I posted, I let him crawl and jump on me! First time in my 58 years. Success! Anyway, I’m guessing this one is a female?
Not certain of gender, looks female. There are many jumpers people keep as pets,
likey more popular than tarantulas. The bold jumper maybe the most popular.
These spiders have cured more arachnophobia than any other method. Their reluctance to bite, other than jumping, easy to handle. So many youtubes of people keeping these, breeding them etc.
I go looking for them and rarely find them, they usually find me.
