Back in 1966 I was taking out the trash. I felt an exrutiating pain on the top of one of my forearms and there was this gray jumping spider. They are the one spider I can’t tolerate to this day. They are also darned hard to kill. The way they move creeps me out.

But they are the one spider I will attempt to kill every time I see one.

I once had a preying mantis, in the nature center where I worked, enclosed in a tank for the public to see. I would give the mantis a supply of 10 crickets for food weekly. After that supply was eaten by the mantis I would bring in another ten crickets.

The third week into the summer I left for a few days off after re-supplying the mantis with another ten crickets. I came back a few days later and found the preying mantis torn to pieces, and the crickets chirping happily.

What comes around, goes around I guess.

Jumping spiders are cool, and many are really cute. When we find them in the house, we either leave them alone or help them outside (in warm weather).

That picture makes it look like he has pupils, makes him seem intelligent.

It reminds me of something from “The Outer Limits” or “The Twilight Zone.”
