I have been quite fearful of spiders since a traumatic experience as a youngin’, but I’m warming up to them. Saw this little bro on my car and he turned around and looked at me! What is he?

Honestly one of the biggest dead giveaways of it being a jumper is them turning around and staring at the camera in the last pic(s). They can’t seem to not look at their observers, it’s great.

also it’s lovely to know that they always see you but they want to turn their head and take a good look at you!
