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.

"Aside from occasional bites, this species does little more than frighten an occasional arachniphobe."



That spider had awesome big blue/green eyes.

Btw, no spiders were harmed in the making of this post. After photographing the wee beastie, I released him in the woodpile behind the shed in our backyard where he can catch all manner of insectoid vermin and frighten more arachniphobes.
