my little spider buddy Male
Default my little spider buddy

I saw my lil friend today, he's really good at hiding. By the time I got the camera he was gone. Anyway my lil buddy is a jumping spider that i caught last year. Usually I am the biggest aracniphobe youd ever meet( sometimes i use nerf guns to cap those dirty beasts off the walls and ceilings), but 1 lil jumping spider didnt scare me.
We have a great relationship! I make sure there are no other spiders in the house, eliminating the competition. And in return he eats every last thing that intends to harm my plants!
I DO repot EVERYTHING that I bring into my house just as soon as I get it. Removing the dead roots but more importantly removing any bugs( usually none anyhow).
I have ever only seen 1 mealy on a new plant I had gotten so Im not so sure what he eats, but Im going to attribute the fact that my orchids are (so far as my inspections have gone) bug free to the lil jumping spider!

Perhaps one day I'll give him a name
