This is my little jumping spider. It’s an L6 which means it has moulted 6 times and is nearing adult hood. It has beautiful green chelicerae (fangs) but we still don’t know if it’s a boy or girl yet.
I’ve had it since November and this is the first time I’ve been able to handle it. Look how cute!

Aw what a lovely spider!
Artemis is a great name. Works for both a boy or girl spider I think.

How beautiful, I hope Artemis turns out to be a girl and you post more pics of her amazing fangs!

So cute!!

I've been trying to persuade DS to get one for ages but he's not interested atm.
He has 4 tarantula, plus other things that he has raised since spiderlings so I know a jumpy would be in very safe hands.
Artemis is very cute.
