Jumping spider has a regular sleep schedule, sleeps like a lazy bitch
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 9th, 2022 7:55 PM Author: dark bearded church She sleeps for several hours per day in the afternoon until the evening. She doesn't like being woken up for shit either. I've caught her sleeping in three different places, one time it looked like she might have been suspended by her thread and not just sitting inside a little nest. But when she goes to sleep for her regular afternoon shift she always goes back to her main house behind the cork bark where it's darkest (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5127330&forum_id=2#44656842) |

Date: June 9th, 2022 8:49 PM Author: dark bearded church She's really active in the morning, just acts all freaked out when I come by, but I think it's because she's being hyper at that time of day. She goes out in the sun in the morning, hangs out in the shade around noon, then goes back in her grotto for like 8 hours like a human being. You can tell she's sleeping too because she doesn't react to external movement, only vibration. If you approach the terrarium when she's awake she'll notice you coming from any direction and react. It's weird to be able to sneak up on a spider. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5127330&forum_id=2#44657165) |

Date: June 9th, 2022 9:09 PM Author: dark bearded church Motionless. They can be horizontal or vertical, but they prefer to be suspended in their own webbing vs sleeping on a solid surface. These spiders don't use webs to catch prey but they make little houses with them and even decorate them (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5127330&forum_id=2#44657274) |

Can you get a picture of the house?
Can you get a male jumping spider so they can bone? |

Date: June 10th, 2022 12:44 AM Author: dark bearded church She hangs up the bodies of dead prey after she eats them. She did it with the last two bugs I fed her: spent a good few hours eating them, then hung up the little dessicated bits in her random webby thing she has going at the top of the enclosure. I've read that some jumping spiders use their molted exoskeleton to decorate their webs but this one uses the carcasses of her prey.
I can try to get a pic of the house when there's daylight again, but it's not really visible under normal light. It's thin webbing between a transparent plexiglass panel and a 4 inch piece of bark.
Right now I think I may let her go in a few weeks when I have to go out of town. She can go a long time without food but she needs water, so I would have to ask a neighbor. And honestly I think it's better if she goes out there any finds a mate. If she rejects a male she will eat him, so if I catch another one I'll just put it in the terrarium where I kept this one.
I've also decided against taking lots of pics because she doesn't like the camera lens. It looks like a giant eye so I don't blame her. She's just chilling, looking at me, then this giant eye appears and she runs away. |

Date: June 10th, 2022 1:13 AM Author: dark bearded church Here she is sleeping vertically in her bed (looking like a fat overfed fuck), and a view of the carcasses dangling near the top. One is kind of hard to see against the leaf. That's not anywhere near where she ate or killed them. She sat on the side panel and ate them for hours without moving and inch, then when I came back the next day they were strung up there like that. There's a little bit of coir fiber strung up there too, which I think she carried up there. I've seen coir fibers in weird places lately.
Seriously, she is so fat in that pic compared to when I found her. Her abdomen was barely visible. Now I feel guilty, like I've overindulged her. That may be why she started decorating the place. |

Date: June 10th, 2022 4:11 PM Author: dark bearded church Yep. I opened the front of her terrarium to spritz water in there and snapped that. First time with no plexiglass in between. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5127330&forum_id=2#44662047) |

Date: June 10th, 2022 4:47 PM Author: dark bearded church ty, here are some more pics I grabbed this morning, just because I had good light and a few minutes to spare. In a few pics you can see the second little nest she built up in the corner. That's where she hangs out during the day when it's sunny. In the afternoon she goes back to her main stay behind the bark.

Date: June 10th, 2022 5:16 PM Author: dark bearded church She's looking a little slimmer too. People feed them every 2-3 days on average and I don't think she's eaten in 3 days. I set up a housefly trap this morning, and as soon as I catch a housefly I'm going to put it in the fridge and let it get cold so I can pick it up with tongs and put it in there. However long it takes me to catch a housefly, that's how long she has to wait. I'll also feed her stink bugs or drain flies if I see any. That orange bug was one was really cool looking and that was the first one she used as decoration. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5127330&forum_id=2#44662447) |

Date: June 10th, 2022 11:16 PM Author: dark bearded church Debating whether to give her a fly tonight or wait until tomorrow morning, when the light is better. The downside to that is I think she likes to be left alone while she eats and I'll be tempted to sit and watch her and take pics.

Date: July 15th, 2025 2:24 PM Author: dark bearded church Update I let her go a few days after these pics were taken, so she'd have enough time to maybe reproduce before she died in the fall. She sure ate enough to carry her through the summer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5127330&forum_id=2#49103479) |

Date: July 15th, 2025 2:35 PM Author: dark bearded church yikes. I still have a terrarium but I'm keeping it open for any praying mantises I find in the yard. Last year I didn't see a single one, and this year I haven't spent enough time looking. Those are fun keep around for a few days and hard to photograph in the wild.
