I really like jumping spiders. They are fun to be around and have in the house. I just wish they were more common here, but instead we have widow spiders that make me nervous when I work around them. I just try to pretend they are friendly, too…
They are pretty friendly and also quite considerate. Females, when they aren’t disturbed and find enough food, often spend their entire life in their web and never leaving it. So it’s not actually that big of a deal to have some in or around your house if you know where they are and leave them alone. The males do wander around sometimes, but they are actually harmless.
They’re also the cutest spiders so they get a pass. The wolf spiders better stay hidden though (plus they hunt the other spider tenants that actually eat the bugs I don’t want in my house)
