  • @AmercianGirl14000 It was probably like "Now, walk away like no one saw that..." at the end lol.

    ...

    Yay i'm replying to a comment over 2 years old. :D Now I have doubt you'll ever bother to read this lol.

  • @XXXXTheNumber13XXXX actually they're not only harmless, they are excellent for insect pests, making them quite company, and are actually not that creepy looking like other spiders. they share a more "Cute" appearance, mostly because of their large eyes lol.

  • spider bro?

  • watched a jumping spider recently eyeing off a daddy long legs which was in its web oscillating so the jumping spider could not get a lock on its target !

    1st time I have ever seen that and now understand what they prey on to a better degree....

  • @xtragel They actually don't build a web for catching insects. If you were tiny, you just wouldn't want to be in her sight if she was hungry. They pounce on their prey with lightning like speed.

  •  it myst be scary living with these spider around u

  • @Torn80cj

    interesting, i find them to be a curious specimen although i'd hate to be caught in their web...

  • i though humans were all turning gay now its spiders turned on by there own reflection

  • @jedihunter176 That's not a threatening posture by this spider in the video. It was attempting to walk on the glass, but sometimes their feet will not stick. The threatening posture would have a quick snap in it with the spider backing up quickly a little. This is a female jumping spider just being curious. If it had been a mirror in front of the spider, she would go into a defense posture, thinking that the reflection maybe another spider wanting to eat her. I film and handle spiders myself.

  • I don't care what it's thinking or doing...all i know is its soooo cute!
