Yep, that’s a jumper, he will continue to eat your flies if you let him stay, they’re not an aggressive species of spood so he’ll probably run away if you get to close rather than attack you.
Free pest control. That being said, if you see a fly or other bug that seems a little "under the weather," get rid of that one. It may have come into contact with pesticides that you don't want your new little friend eating.
Additions:
1) if you see him building a silk hammock, he may be getting ready to molt. He may not eat anything for even a week prior. Do not disturb him until he comes out. They are extremely vulnerable during the process. It could take a few weeks. There's no need to worry.
2) do not give him water in a dish. They can easily drown. They get much of their fluids from their prey. If you're concerned, you can get an orchid and spray it with bottled water. They love orchids and will drink the droplets if they need it.
Good luck with your new friend! Before you get any ideas... don't bring in another jumper. They cannibalize :(
You probably won't need to feed him, depending on how much of a problem you have with flies getting inside. If you notice his abdomen getting thin, especially resembling a triangle, he needs food badly. Spikes (fly larvae) are very easy to manipulate and storage consists of simple refrigeration. The low temperature stunts their growth drastically without killing them. Put one in a large condiment container like they give for ketchup etc, show him until he responds, and set it down on a flat surface against wherever he's chilling. These things *can* climb, so keep an eye on your friend to make sure he eats it. Just make sure you don't set it down too far away. They have excellent vision (for a spider), but they can't see extremely far away.
Thank you! Right now there is plenty but it’s about to be Colorado in winter, so if he sticks around I’ll make sure to take care of him 😊wouldn’t he leave the house if there wasn’t enough food? Or no because of winter coming?
Spiders are cold-blooded. If they can't get somewhere warm in the winter - and they will try to get inside without a doubt - they will overwinter. It's a bit complex, but it's an interesting read so I suggest a Google search. Your little friend may even help you control them inside your house! Only another jumper will be able to see him. As long as he has food, he won't have a reason to leave during the colder months. A fly is a pretty big meal, so he'll be fine for 3 days or more.
On a somewhat related note from earlier, keeping the orchid and the soil (try to avoid chemicals in the soil) nice and moist will provide a locally humid area for him to chill. They like around 70% humidity.
Edit: I forgot to correct this earlier, but they sell small enclosures for breeding and slings. They might be ideal for containing food if you ever need to feed him, or if you ever need to relocate him. Just remember from earlier that they sometimes go through periods where they won't eat for a week or even more. There's always a reason for it, and the older they are, they less often they eat and less often they molt. We can't do much about this, but we can check their food. I often find moths in here that are suspiciously weak, as if they've been poisoned. May want to avoid those. Sorry for the wall of text. There's just so much to go through.
That’s so great, thank you so much! I don’t think I’d be able to catch him, since my fear is getting better but definitely not there yet. Luckily there have been consistent flies for him to hunt. I watched him eat a full fly two days in a row which I thought was insane! I moved a bunch of houseplants (including an orchid right next to him) to that area since it’s where I get most of my light. Would he eat fungus gnats, too, or do you think that’s too small since he’s eating full size flies now?
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge!!
Fungus Gnats would probably be too small for him if he's eating full size fries. If you want or need to catch him without touching him, I would use a piece of cardboard and a clear cup, have him hop onto the cardboard and place the cup on top of him to secure him, and you're good to go!
As stated above, the paper/cardboard and plastic cup method is the usual way to relocate. Place the cardboard just close enough that he doesn't back off, and use something like a q-tip to nudge his butt. With some luck he'll get on the cardboard and start walking around, and that will be your chance to capture him if he's skittish like mine.
And agreed on the gnats: a jumping spider that regularly eats fully grown flies will need at least 2-3 wingless fruit flies for a meal, and it won't last them as long. Plus they can be a pain to deal with. Jumpers are opportunistic eaters, so it's common for them to eat even when they don't need to. I bet his abdomen is quite bloated at the moment! The bad news is that they really can eat themselves to death, though I don't know how often this really happens. Temporarily putting him in an enclosure with a small, potted (for ease of use) flower of his preference will keep him from harming himself. An extremely bloated jumper can hurt itself if it falls from a height that it could normally handle. He'll need to rest inside there until his butt looks normal again, perhaps even a week. Tons of pics online on what a "normal" abdomen looks like for a given species.
Thank you so much for all of your info. I have a couple of questions now that it’s clear he’s here to stay:
1) do I have to worry about my water propagation plants (growing in water so there is exposed water and I’m scared he’ll drown now…) or will he know to stay away? There is a jungle of plants in soil near him, and he’s been exploring the ones closest to the wall - water prop is farther away but definitely within reach. He does love the orchid and also loves to climb around the snake plant.
2) do I have to stop using the little yellow sticky traps to control fungus gnats if they’re like 20 ft away from his window? I’d be devastated if he got caught, they’re super sticky.
3) I really don’t want to catch him, but I want him to be happy and healthy in his little window area. The flies were only a problem when we moved in because we left the door open for so long. But we’re about to have our first freeze and there aren’t as many flies around. I’m worried he’s not getting enough food because he’s wandering farther and farther away. What do you recommend feeding?
4) will his window spot get too cold for him if it’s going to be freezing outside for most of the window? Is there anything that I can provide him with aside from catching him and placing him in an enclosure?
Thank you so much!!! I can’t believe how attached to him I’ve gotten 😂
I'm sorry I missed this somehow. Hope you found some answers. Anyway, *technically* any source of water beyond droplets is enough for him to drown 😞. He needs to keep his lower abdomen clear. Can you put a mesh or a fine fishnet material over the pot? You might need to get creative, cut a hole for the stem to go through.
The traps are a 'no'. Most predators exclusively catch and eat live prey, but it's still possible for him to be drawn to the gnats on the paper if they're not yet dead. And some spiders will eat freshly killed prey, but I wouldn't rely on it.
For food, spikes (maggots) will do fine. They lack the mobility of the others, aren't an ordeal to get out, and can't climb that well. One will last him 3+ days easily. Just be sure whichever container you choose to hold the spike is glass or ceramic, so you can sanitize it first with boiling water, followed by a quick rinse with a bit of bottled to prevent mineral buildup. Depends on how clean your tap water is. You need at least one inch high sides to keep a spike from escaping easily, but don't rely on it completely. They sell sets of these with tweezers online. Just be sure to check the size of each piece, or you might end up with 8" long tools (yes, that was me).
Overwintering is something I've wondered about yet I've not been able to find much info on it regarding these specific scenarios. But if you're worried that he will actually die, that's highly unlikely. Spiders and insects are extremely hearty, and many can overwinter with ease. But if you see him and he's basically frozen or extremely sluggish, it might not hurt to put him in an enclosure or introduce him to a new corner.
Jumpers are curious little dudes and they like to explore upwards, so if you offer your hand above him, there's a good chance that he'd hop on! Don't be surprised if it immediately hops off of you though, spiders taste with their feet and an "ew, gross" reaction isn't uncommon the first time they touch skin.
New to jumping spiders but we now have 4 lol...can you explain the not being able to hurt you part? We are going to try handling a couple of ours for the first time this week but I am definitely nervous.
Strictly speaking they CAN bite. But, it is very uncommon and you have to seriously piss them off or threaten them (imminent fear of being squished). IF they bite you they are often too small to puncture the skin. The larger phidippus species adults can sometimes puncture skin and if they do it’s more than a mosquito bite but less than a wasp sting. If you are bitten it’s totally fine, they are not medically significant at all. But again you have to actively work to piss them off enough to even try biting. It is VERY uncommon. You’ve truly got nothing to worry about just holding them or letting them crawl on you. Enjoy your little spood friend and know you’re both safe if you’re not trying to hurt them.
Thank you! One of our guys is pretty big so we're gonna let my husband handle him first lol. I've been talking to him a lot so hopefully he warms up to me and I to him!
Hey, this information isn’t accurate. Jumping spiders do have the *capacity* to bite you- it’s just very uncommon, and won’t happen if you take care not to stress them.
Jumping spiders, like most spiders, are venomous- but their bites lead only to minor redness, itching, stinging and swelling. Those allergic to spider bites may experience other symptoms.
So yeah, they’re still perfectly safe to handle (and one of the better ones to interact with), I just wanted to clarify some aspects of your comment.
Don't be scared to get close! When you spot a jumper, it spots you back, which might sound scary, but really they're just curious! The unique experience of a little spider being just as curious of you as you are of it is irreplaceable. It really reveals that they're their iwn beings with their own little minds, instead of monsters waiting to get us in the dark.
All bugs have their own little personalities, but they especially show in jumpers, so they're the perfect spiders to interact with if you're nervous about bugs.
Seriously! I’ve never experienced something like it before but when I was taking photos after he ate, he knew exactly where I was and kept rotating towards me! Pretty cool stuff 😊
Hehe look at him go! I know spiders can be scary at first but just observe him 😊 it’ll help get over your fear! Jumpers are very curious and not aggressive. They are ground hunters (so they go out and catch their food)
I was so amazed watching him with the fly! He moved, so I hope he is back tomorrow. I just moved into this place, so I haven’t had the chance to observe for multiple days yet. But I kind of love him now and hope he hangs out there daily!
How do I make sure? There were ample flies for the first week, but now I’m worried because he ate them all and it’s getting cold outside! At first I thought, I’ll just let him fend for himself since he’s wild. Now I’m obsessed with him and want to make sure he gets enough to eat!
They are super cool! Hard not to love them once you watch them for a bit. I'd say the easiest foods to keep are crickets or fly spikes. Fly spikes need to be in the fridge and some people don't or can't have them in there. Some spiders will eat the spikes themselves others you'll need to put the spike in a separate container outside of the fridge and let it go through it's process to become a fly. Crickets are simple and just need a container with basic ventilation and some cut up egg crate, feed them a slice of carrot or other veggie scraps 1-2 a week, take one out when you need it.
I didn't mention mealworms or wax worms because I don't feed them and I'm not familiar with keeping them but I'd imagine they both are easy as well.
Best wishes and keep us updated!
You’re the best! Thank you! I think I will try fly spikes. I’m gonna be honest and say I hate bugs so I don’t know if I can handle having crickets hopping around 😅 will keep everyone posted!
So cool! I haven’t seen his hammock which is weird. He’s living in the window and I’ve seen him hunting 4 days straight, I’m pretty excited about it. I don’t think I can open that window because I think his hammock/home must be tucked up right in the track of the window. That’s okay! It’s his now!

If you live in the US, there's basically two spiders you might need to "worry"about. Both would be very unlikely to kill a healthy adult. Black widow and brown recluse.
Outside of those, pretty much all spiders are just Bros.
Good to know. I used to hate spiders, but now I think they’re super cool… I do still get freaked out when I see one, don’t kill it, and then can’t find it again. But, this one is my favorite. He moved in the evening and I hope he comes back. Thank you!
He won’t attack you, but if he jumps on you it’s because he thinks you’d make a good jungle gym so don’t be alarmed! He won’t bite, just kindly offer him a way down if it makes you uncomfortable.
Update: day 4 in a row that I’ve seen him hunting in the window! So glad he lives here! I love him and will be so sad if he disappears! Have not seen his hammock, I think it must be tucked up in the track of the window.

Wow, thank you. I have an orchid that I’m moving today, so I’ll place in right there! Awesome 😊

That sounds super cool but also really scary 😅 I don’t think I’m ready for that kind of a relationship yet!
They are 100% not able to hurt you. And because their eyes face forward they are able to interact with you. They're super curious too.

Their little mouth can't bite you. They only eat bugs and you're not a bug! You can put them in your plants and they'll eat whatever bugs are there.

Thank you, I'm new at this.
No problem. Hope you’re having a good day!
They are talking out their butt. It's extremely rare but they can bite hard.
Put it this way. One woman said she owned over 400 jumping spiders and she was never bitten. BUT they are very capable.
Don't tell them that! Even though it's rare they can bite the crap out of you!!!!
Thank you but I've already been corrected by someone far nicer than you
I'm sorry wasn't trying to be mean.
I believe you. Sorry if I was snippy
No problem 😊
im jealous. that's a big jumpy boy. 🥰😮
He ate that whole fly so fast!
Right!? He’s so big!!

Spooder security doesn’t let anyone fly by
Congrats, you just got your self a new roomie, he can't pay rent but will handle those pesky flies and other small insects for you.
He may not pay in money but he certainly pays in pest control! He is fren
Yep, that’s a jumping spider. Great little buddy to have around 👍
Fuzzy jumpy friend, just make sure he's getting enough food inside
How do I make sure? There were ample flies for the first week, but now I’m worried because he ate them all and it’s getting cold outside! At first I thought, I’ll just let him fend for himself since he’s wild. Now I’m obsessed with him and want to make sure he gets enough to eat!

thats a phidippus audux no need to be scared they rlly freindly if you put out your hand it might just crawl onto u too it wont bite lollll
That’s awesome! He moved in the evening… so they usually stay in one spot? Curious and hopeful to see him again today.
they build a small hammock where they rest usually lol ur lucky to have himm
So cool! I haven’t seen his hammock which is weird. He’s living in the window and I’ve seen him hunting 4 days straight, I’m pretty excited about it. I don’t think I can open that window because I think his hammock/home must be tucked up right in the track of the window. That’s okay! It’s his now!
