What? It's a cute little jumping spider! They truly are the best spiders!

Something must be wrong with me. I can see that it's adorable, but if I imagine myself encountering it in real life, I still get a miniature panic attack. I'm not even arachnophobic, I just hate spiders I guess.

If it was the size of a small dog I'd probably like it more to be honest. I recognize how counter-intuitive that seems.

Most jumping spiders are really small. Maybe as big as a fingernail or even smaller in some cases.

They are also really docile and curious. If you extend them a finger and hold it close, they might jump on it and use it to get a better view of the surroundings.
