Not Cool

The Mister found this spider in our bathroom. It's a Bold Jumping Spider.

As you can tell by the scale, the spider is approximately 600 meters long. (Ha! Actually, that's part of a topographical map in the background.)



According to a field guide we have, Bold Jumping Spiders have elaborate courtship rituals that you can stimulate by holding a mirror in front of one. Fucking narcissists! Too bad we didn't know this before the Mister shook him out in the yard. That would have been interesting to see.

If I had found that spider I'd be in a padded room right now.

That is the coolest spider I have seen lately. The fact that it is Bold and Jumping only adds to that. All the spiders in my house are Thin Crawling spiders and if you hold a mirror in front of them they spend half a day looking for themselves and when they do see themselves they think they're a pin stuck in someone else's web.

Funny.

This spider is also called the "Daring Jumping Spider." Two verbs in one name, it's just unfathomable.

That is amazing.
