This rather large but adorable jumping spider hitchhiked inside on laundry from the clothes line. Photos taken after relocation.

It does look huge. And for some reason it looks very old, is it just me? Posted 5 years ago

    I'm pretty sure it is a grandma in this case? Females are a great deal larger than males. The size range description for female P. undatus on BG fit this individual. Posted 5 years ago

  Thank you! It really cheered me up. I kind of regret not letting it crawl on me as this species is known for being very chill and even interested in humans. Posted 5 years ago
