This just ran across my kitchen table. Never seen one like it before and it kinda creeped me out.

I think it’s a Zebra Jumping Spider.

They can jump up to four inches! Eep.

Thank you.

Spidy has been released into my shed, BTW.

Wow pretty

They are amazing. They have quite cute little faces and will stop and look at you, like nosey little neighbours.
Ambush predators rather than web makers.

They're so cute! I'm glad you're not an arachnid murderer!

I've owned dosens of arachnids, 99% being large tropical ones and by far these little "British own" spiders are my favourite!

They're so tiny and cute and I love their wee jumps Grin

I try not to kill spiders when I can. I'd rather rehome them into my shed or garden where they can eat bugs.
