      They are for sure! Some people don’t seem to like (jumping) spiders but I am fond of them. The jumpers are cute! Posted 3 months ago

The Sassacus vitis

"Sassacus vitis" is a species of jumping spider. It is native to North America, with a range spanning from Canada to Panama. These spiders are normally no larger than five millimetres, with females being much larger than males, and duller in color. Because of their small size, these spiders feed primarily on small insects such as flies.
