Love their curiosity. Although sometimes I think they're looking at their own reflection lol. Posted 3 years ago

    Have you read "Children of time" by any chance?

    It's basically mankind against highly evolved jumping spiders and obviously I want the spiders to win. Posted 3 years ago

        In case you ever read it and love it, mind the sequel "Children of Ruin". Don't look it up yet because the description gives away clues on how the first book ends, which spoils it. Posted 3 years ago

The Zebra spider

The zebra spider is a common jumping spider of the Northern Hemisphere. Like other jumping spiders it does not build a web. It has a particularly large pair of forward facing eyes that help it to locate and stalk its prey before pouncing on it.
