Okay wait, people who have followed me for a while might know that the Fossa is one of my fave animals, so I lost my mind when I got to see these little ones 😭
Jumping spider using an acorn cap as a boat in the hot tub.
(It was safely removed after I took a few pics and this video. Our pool stuff is saltwater instead of chlorine, so it didn’t seem to be in immediate danger while floating in its little boat. Not sure if it fell in with the cap or happened to fall in and swim/crawl(via surface tension) to it, but either way this concept belongs in every fantasy thing ever.)
I swear jumping spiders are just the most effortlessly charming little animals; this is like something out of a children’s book illustration. So glad this charming arachnid made it to safety!
I have one I named Samantha that lives on top of my shrimp tank! She eats fruit flies and I’ve seen her fishing for seed shrimp - I wouldn’t have believed if I didn’t see her reach in and grab one!
Not to be dramatic but I would die for Samantha may she be fat and happy on fruit flies and seed shrimp forever
