I think I will call him Steve

[jenneses]

I am terrified of spiders to the point of freezing, not being able to move when I see one, but in this case Steve was so cute I didn't mind.

Go a bit back in the thread.

I hope she's getting fat cos she's gonna moult. *hope*

 

[JoshnJJ]

Ah, hopefully she could moult,

I used to keep Royal Jumping spider as a pet,
a jet black with small white dots. they were cool.
They grow up to half inch, pretty big.

Yeah they were mini. Maybe I should have called them mini.mini.steve

As reference: The edges of the cup form a circle of 3cm. Yes, they were tiny.

You gotta love the eyes.

Awww, he's adorable! I /do/ love his eyes. He's probably the first spider I thought was cute. ^^

This has been an awesome thread. The pics you have gotten of Steve are incredible.
Gotta love her eyes.

Thanks so much for sharing Steve with us. I look forward to future episodes of Steve the wonder spider!

I know it's late in the game, but I've just barely caught on to the Steve phenomenon!

I've always had a soft spot for jumping spiders; out here we get the little brown ones like Steve, and we also get Bold jumping spiders, Phidippus audax, which are of the larger variety with a black body with white spots, and green chelicerae. I always refer to them as Halloween spiders, as they seem to come around in early October all dressed up! <3

Love Steve, by the way! I hope he moults for you soon...I wonder how many clutches a jumping spider can have?
