There is a group on Facebook where people keep jumping spiders as pets. They feed them, let them crawl on them, and keep them in a cage. From what I have seen, they can be down right cute.

Looks like a walking Christmas tree

And they can be colorful too, as you have noticed.

Unfortunately I'm too busy to own a pet, and another problem occurs when I go on vacation for I don't want to rely on other people to look after my pets.

But spiders and flies etc. are different and they look after themselves, so perhaps I just don't want a pet, or this type of pet, because they are unwelcome visitors, and I take them to the door when they enter my home uninvited.

I know I tried a few times, as a kid...

but my mother would not let me

Only if it is male because they consume less and have the decency to stay in their own damn web unlike the loud, chaotic brutes walking around outside.

I actually would! 🕷️ Jumping spiders are kind of adorable with their big eyes and curious movements. I’d totally keep one in a well-designed terrarium and probably end up sketching it a lot. Scorpions and other insects feel a bit more intense, though. I’d admire them in exhibits or documentaries rather than at home.

Oh hell no! That would scare too much and what if it should escape and kill one of my family members or me in the middle of the night.
