Jumping Spider, "Monkey Face" by Bob the Spider Hunter

Join Bob, The Spider Hunter, as he shares his latest video clip of a female jumping spider he caught in his back yard and released after filming the spider. He thought it had a cute "monkey like face"! Some nice close up shots and slow mo jumps! This spider is from the Genus & Species, Platycryptus undatus. This female spider is not as bold or aggressive as the Phidippus audax, or Bold (Daring) jumping spider, but just as fascinating. Watch how quickly she pounces on a fly!

I LOVE the music Bob!!

Keep up the good work mate I really enjoy your vids and work in general.

This vid made my day man. Such a beautiful, majestic spider. I caught another adult white tail last night that's now in my terrerium along with the male I put in a month ago. They're both BIG and I'm hoping they'll start breeding and not kill eachother lol

@Goatbaggage - Glad you liked the music "Alley Cat" I thought it was fun...some others hated it! Oh well, to each his own! LOL Your White Tail spiders are Austrailia's version of our Northern Brown Recluse spider both can pack a nasty bite with a greater strength vemon than most spiders.The wound area, which I'm sure you know, can also turn into a very dangerous area for infection and flesh decay. HANDLE WITH CARE!

Have a great day down under!

If you have a jumper in your house and need to get it outside.... please don't use a wad of toilet paper to crush. That tiny creature has advanced intellect similar to that of a cat. Much more than the Mars rovers. Normally you wouldn't kill a cat or scrap a Mars rover.

Get a houseplant leaf or blade of grass. The jumper will recognize it as a safe place and jump to it. Then put him/her outside where they should be.
