Say hi to Phidippus borealis, my Boreal jumping spider!
Look who came for a visit! A Boreal jumping spider! I was by the kitchen sink saving a wolf spider and look up … and there it was! Jumping spiders are very, very cool. Lovely colours, fuzzy, and they jump! They jump and attack their prey. This little guy is about the size of a nickel. He’s been moving around my kitchen and living room this morning . Yes, Lorraine, I’ll be shooing him out of the house soon. In the meantime, we’re just hanging out together.
Jumping spiders aren’t dangerous, so panic is not needed. When you get a generally harmless spider in the house gently pick it up and take it outside. Well, unless you’d like your own free mosquito catcher …
