    Aww, jumping spiders are spider bros. They are surprisingly smart. Them and wolf spiders get free roam of my house and garden.

      They are so smart. You can keep jumping spiders as pets and they exhibit social behaviors with humans, even ones in the wild are able to learn specific people and will just chill with you.

      I like to befriend them and let them play by jumping around my fingers.

      The only spiders I kill are the yellow sac spiders because they will bite you in your sleep and cause a nasty infection. It happened to me once.

        Yeah, I try to teach them which spiders are good and bad. But at the end of the day, they are indiscriminate killers. Jumping spiders are usually smart enough to stay back. You can watch them watching the cats.
