Two male Platycryptus undatus I saw having a territorial dance-off
I think the one on the right might鈥檝e backed down because he鈥檚 holding prey and would rather enjoy his meal in peace

Tan Jumping Spider (Platycryptus undatus), female, taken October 28, 2023, in Georgia, US
A head-on view of a small jumping friend! You can see her tapping her palps on the post as she moves, likely for extra sensory input. She was quite wary of me, but she was nice and allowed me to take a nice video and get a couple pictures! Tan jumpers have such fuzzy faces, unlike most other jumpers I see, and that gives them extra cuteness points in my head!

A large, beautiful (possibly gravid) Platycryptus undatus I found in my house a few years ago 馃グ she was so friendly and curious and looked right up at the camera! I took her outside to release her and fed her a small fly before she went on her way.

First Flatwell of the New Year. He's taken to using the super-high-growing clover as his hangout spot.

Found on iNat.... a fully paternless, nearly white female Platycryptus sp.
It is believed to be Platycryptus undatus, but not completely sure.
Credit goes to the original finder and photographer.

Milkweed got a bit of an upgrade tonight- these are her senior accommodations 馃ズ It's been almost a year since I found her, and she was fully-grown then. Her grip isn't too great anymore, and she can't scale the sides of the acrylic enclosures. I lined the walls of this smaller cube with screen so she can do her exploring.
It is a bit darker in there with the walls covered, but I just got a super bright light bulb in my office, so I'll keep her in there during the day with me. Plus I want to keep an eye on her to make sure she can't get behind the screen and get stuck. The edges are hot-glued down, so .. should be fine!

Anyway, she seems fine now, snacking on some fruit flies.
The shops where all her cool stuff is from:
her enclosure | star garland + cloud platform | her black birdhouse
