Anyone else trip on these dudes? I mean they have eight eyes, and as soon as you start paying attention to them they pick up on it and dance around. A very intelligent spider as well. I've had them either do the tango, or jump at me from amazing distances, usually they do a little dance. So cute.

Love jumping spiders!
Their wild and crazy appearance, and jovial behavior.
I look at them under the microscope at work sometimes.

Spiders are one of the most resilient, intelligent and self-sufficient animals of all creation.

They do these dances that are entertaining as hell. Seems like it's to check you out or get a better vantage point.

yeah I don't kill pretty much anything with the exception of flies mosquitoes and yellow jackets ticks and fleas but certainly not spiders anymore. Maybe put them outside. Apparently the jumping spiders are among the most intelligent of all spiders and really aren't true spiders at all with an extra pair of legs and some odd eyes.

It's sad lately how animals are struggling to even survive. I notice and try to help at least emotionally. Almost ran over my two deers that was such an odd thing how they ran out in front of me of course I immediately slowed down.
Anyway the world is in such trouble I weep for our future.

I've noticed these things more in the last few years than ever before. We have tarantulas where I am and they are quite quick to determine your intentions.
We also have a trap door spider which is a jumping spider. There is no doubt that they use their many eyes to check you out. They do know when you are looking at them too.
A few friends have had experiences with lizards lately that are quite interesting.
One friend who lives in a remote area had one sitting next to him in a planter on his porch. It had ticks encircling it neck. He got a tweezer, picked up the lizard and pulled out all but 2 ticks then released the lizard.
About 2 weeks later he was standing near the same spot looking out across the valley betwe the trees, and a lizard jumped out if a tree about 40 feet away from about 8 foot up. It landed and ran at full speed at him, jumped on his leg and ran up to about mid thigh. It was the same lizard, it still had the ticks. It looked at him for about a minute, ran to the ground and under the house.
That was a blue belly or western fence lizard. Ticks on the west coast do not have lymes disease for the most part because they feed on lizards and there is something in the lizards blood that kills the spirochete which is lymes. No lizards in the north east, so their deer ticks have lymes.
Another friend has a western fence lizard that comes out and gets about 4 feet away from him whenever he's working outside around the house and watches him. It's been happening about 6 months. He called me up to ask about it and I told him the story about the lizard with the ticks. He stopped thinking it was so strange.

My crazy cat brings in every kind of thing, most always live. Lizards who have been "caught and released" may not like getting in the mason jar like one recently. It's always interesting when the animal knows it's likely better not to fight and to let Lunar catch and release back to the outdoors.
I'm pretty good at grabbing birds even hummingbirds you have to relax and pay attention. I can catch flies that way you can literally mesmerize animals and make them in your spell. At least I can.

we used to have a tone of these little guys at my old place, my girlfriend didn't like them much but I thought they were awesome... used to get baked and watch them for hours sometimes... I know what you mean by the little jig they do... so fucking funny.

I had one living in my kitchen faucet handle, for maybe a month. It would greet me and then run back into the handle. The flies land on the top so it had a little surprise for them if they did.
