I caught a young jumping spider that was inside our house today. I've wanted to keep one as a pet for a while, but I hadn't bought springtails and flightless fruit flies yet. The "cat" distribution system at its finest. I haven't named them yet but this little cutie just had a very cathartic (for me) first meal in his new home - a (culex?) mosquito (of which we have way too many in the back yard). I'm happy that I now know an abundant food source that will do OK until I get captive bred prey insects going. I have "sweet blood" so I'm gonna have no trouble attracting and catching mosquitoes to feed in the meantime. #JumpingSpider
