Spider? What is this thing? Sorry it's not clearer. I shake too bad when it's hot out and couldn't get a clearer pic :(

I don't really know the proper name of the spider, but we always called them "jumping" spiders :)

If you put a stick in front of it you would know why LOL!

They jump :)

That's all I've ever hear them called too, just jumping spiders.

Well, he didnt' jump, but was crawling behind the 'J' channel of the siding when I opened or closed the slider door. Just a buggy world lately :D I guess that's good, means I keep a pretty good yard for them all hey? :D

It says they bite, but I never knew anyone who got bit by one. But then again I don't hold spiders :eek:

Good to know! Thanks~ I know daddy-long-legs bite too, b/c I was bitten at 14 or so while camping, but we used to catch them as kids and watch them crawl up our arms and stuff, on dares! :roll:
