[OC] A little jumping spider.

I remember when I was trying to take this photo the spider jumped on the lens and I might have screamed.

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

Spiders can stay if they survive my cats.

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.
