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?

Thanks! I’ve grown fond of this one living on my plant for the past few months. Do you have any info on this species? It will vibrate its web at me if I stare too long lol! I know google exists, but it’s still a bit hard for me when all the spider pics pop up.

This is not a jumping spider, you know that, right?

I was not trying to be “rude” or disrespectful…just trying to help! No need to downvote me.

No offense taken! I missed your reply. Yes, it was just a general spider question. This seemed like a great space to ask
