Jumping Spider Keeps Brown Recluse Spider Away

http://www.permies.com

This is a jumping spider that found its way onto my monitor.

I was once bit by a brown recluse spider. I had a big welt on my arm for six months. In those days I killed all spider and had to kill lots of flies and other bugs too. Now, I leave all jumping spiders and daddy long legs. They are safe to me, eat all the flies and bugs which makes me have nearly zero brown recluse food. So, a greatly reduced probability of brown recluse spiders.

Thank you for that. I have had a terrible fear of spiders since I was a kid and have not had good experiences with them but this video gave me a good laugh and made him not so scary.

you can tame jumping spiders to. Jumping spiders are not poisonous to humans. I heard you can keep all spiders away with coconut or something like that.

Whenever I see a jumping spider, I have to go over to it so it'll look up at me. They're just adorable the way they move and check things out >:3

omg i LOVE this video!!! hahaha!!! have you ever tried "communicating" with jumping spiders? it's really funny, if you wiggle your 2 fingers just like they wiggle their feelers they will start imitating what you do with your fingers after awhile. I love all my jumping spiders! We have them here in far Northern California in all sorts of colors & sizes.
