Jumping spiders are known to observe their prey and find there blindspots in order to find the best way to attack.
They are one of the smallest animals that are capable of complex mental process and have problem solving abilities.
Jumping spiders are just too good. The fly doesn't stand a chance.
No, no no.
You need to watch more Jeff Goldblum. You. Must. BECOME. The. Fly.
Actually just turn into a giant jumping spider. That should save you a few steps.
I always enjoy it when I'm working in the yard and a jumping spider follows you around checking out what's going on.
They're basically 8-legged micro cats.
Nah, we couldn't see it but the spider used its domain expansion: Infinite Void. That spider, user of the Eight Eyes, filled the fly's consciousness with the concept of infinity, overloading its senses and immobilizing it for the kill
Kinda suggests their sense of vision is a bit different. Which it is with compound eyes. Also if you are careful enough you can get within an inch of a fly easily too.
Flies experience the world in super slow motion. This spider inching its way towards the fly would appear to it at the same speed as a plant growing appears to us.
It's not so bad once you have your fyp down. I don't see dumb dance trends or annoying "creators". Mostly cats, some funny content and sobriety support. There is definitely quality content to be had
You should read an excellent sci-fi book Children of time about these spiders becoming super clever and building their own society.
The spider species is Portia labiata.
That's all I can think of whenever I hear about jumping spiders! I'm almost done with the second book (Children of Ruin), but that first book Children of Time was **SO GOOD**.
Excellent books. I found them a couple of years ago. As a side note, don't read the blurb on the back of book two before finishing book one. It ruins the ending.
I can't sell it well to you in english but the book is really great. You don't see spider society being built every day plus the ending twist is kinda cool.
Huh... Weird. I don't see those messages at all. 🤔

Maybe the sub doesn't allow to post youtube links in the comments?
A friend of mine who works for the CIA told me they had replaced all the jumping spiders with robots, so they could hunt the flys. Then the government is going to replace all the flys with drones to spy on our garbage and cancel our digital currency
Funny thing is, jumping spiders are a fairly young spider family; we have no fossils that date back past the Cenozoic, though they may have just perfected what their ancestors have been doing from time immemorial. Or they're just that freaking metal.
Yeah their fossil record is a bit spartan to say the least though can you imagine what they might have been like if they were around during the Carboniferous period with Pidgeon sized bugs around!
I am thinking Eight Legged Freaks sized spiders! How awesome would that be!
Now I miss the little jumpy guy I had in my house last year. We became good friends because my fiance kept leaving the back door open and flys were making there way in. He lived on the wall in the corner of my kitchen.
One day I saw a fly land on the wall as I was walking by and I told him to take care of it. I walked by again about five minutes later and he had already paid his rent by taking out the fly.
Yes, jumping spiders are active hunters that don't make webs.
I can't answer your second question beyond that like any species, their behaviour has developed over time, and spiders in general have a diversity of approaches to catching prey.
I have a jumping spider that lives next to my back door. Jumpy hides under the edge of the vinyl siding and he always "looks" at me. I swear he tried to show off for me. Or he's just constantly being super cool. I was able to feed him once with a fly that was being weird just standing in one spot and missing one wing. I was able to put the fly on a small lip of the siding and Jumpy moved so fast I couldn't track his movement. It seemed like he teleported he moved so quickly.
I remember reading something about jumping spiders noticing when that they’re being observed and either hating it and trying to get away, or putting on a little show for the viewer in the hopes they won’t be crushed or eaten

Fly: feels the air current from the movement of a single human hair, hauls ass Fly: sees it's natural predator a fucking inch away, nah ill just die
Jumping spiders are known to observe their prey and find there blindspots in order to find the best way to attack. They are one of the smallest animals that are capable of complex mental process and have problem solving abilities. Jumping spiders are just too good. The fly doesn't stand a chance.
By this logic, if I wanna kill a horse fly, I need to swat from the side of it?
No, no no. You need to watch more Jeff Goldblum. You. Must. BECOME. The. Fly. Actually just turn into a giant jumping spider. That should save you a few steps.

More like nah, I'd win
Spider did a binding vow
Nah, we couldn't see it but the spider used its domain expansion: Infinite Void. That spider, user of the Eight Eyes, filled the fly's consciousness with the concept of infinity, overloading its senses and immobilizing it for the kill
Are you the strongest because you're a spider? Or are you a spider because you're the strongest?
When it comes to prey detection, we are the exception because throughout animal kingdom and arachnids, I alone am the jumping one

I follow a lady on YouTube that keeps them as pets, and they seem to each have their own personality! It's really cool and sweet 😋
Channel link please?
[удалено]
No sane adult is trying to spend time on TikTok but thanks anyways
I'd rather pay for yt premium than using that clusterfuck of a content platform
\*Twerks\*
sucks you cant disable shorts on yt yet. i send an email once a month asking them to add that feature.
It's not so bad once you have your fyp down. I don't see dumb dance trends or annoying "creators". Mostly cats, some funny content and sobriety support. There is definitely quality content to be had
For someone who has never used tiktok and hasn't used any social media (unless you include Reddit) in almost a decade, what is fyp?
"For you page". I don't use TikTok either but it appears to be the videos recommended for you based on what the algorithm thinks you want to watch.
I don’t use tiktok myself, but pretty much everyone I know in their 20s-30s has and uses it regularly.
She’s on Instagram!
You should read an excellent sci-fi book Children of time about these spiders becoming super clever and building their own society. The spider species is Portia labiata.
awesome book. I didn't like the sequel as much though (children of ruin), which was basically the same except squids.
I agree, the sequel wasn't as good but it had it's moments like closing off the space elevator during the pandemic.
Came here to say this. It's good to help cure arachnophobia, if you persist. You end up cheering for the spiders.
That's all I can think of whenever I hear about jumping spiders! I'm almost done with the second book (Children of Ruin), but that first book Children of Time was **SO GOOD**.
I also always remember whenever i see something about jumping spiders :)
Excellent books. I found them a couple of years ago. As a side note, don't read the blurb on the back of book two before finishing book one. It ruins the ending.
Thank you for the recommendation! I am an avid reader, so I will definitely check that book series out 😁
It has a great audio book adaptation as well, I can highly recommend it.
I can't sell it well to you in english but the book is really great. You don't see spider society being built every day plus the ending twist is kinda cool.
We have them around our garden... And I swear these guys have extremely distinct personalities... Coolest spiders ever... Though all spiders are cool
Post that channel name!
The name please! 🙂
I posted the link above twice 😁
Huh... Weird. I don't see those messages at all. 🤔 https://preview.redd.it/de1mtsffyu9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a559ac670c616616e58fcaa9fbf9215c7968f793 Maybe the sub doesn't allow to post youtube links in the comments?
thats exactly the case, im pretty sure you even get a warning message when you try to.
Can't see the links, probably temp blocked for modding or flagged as spam.
Ahh damn! The name is Preeti Choudhary for those that can't see the link!
Thank you kind sir/lady.
That channel steals content from flower\_the\_jumping\_spider on instagram just so you know
Oh I didnt know 😔 That isn't good...
Oh I didnt know 😔 That isn't good...
Oh I didnt know 😔 That isn't good...
They’re such small cuties
Jumping spiders aren’t here to fuck spiders.
Found the aussie
That fly was never fully in Ctrl
In an Alt universe it would Shift to another location
Spider Deleted the fly
The spider was keeping Tab on the fly
holy fuck he got em! also, how do we know this was real and not just actor spider and actor fly? there's no blood?!
A friend of mine who works for the CIA told me they had replaced all the jumping spiders with robots, so they could hunt the flys. Then the government is going to replace all the flys with drones to spy on our garbage and cancel our digital currency
No wonder the jumping spiders in my house act aloof when there are flies around.
It’s wild that they can kill the pesky bastards that thwart all but the most clever of fly killing tools
I mean to be fair, they have had hundreds of millions of years getting it all down naturally.
Funny thing is, jumping spiders are a fairly young spider family; we have no fossils that date back past the Cenozoic, though they may have just perfected what their ancestors have been doing from time immemorial. Or they're just that freaking metal.

As a major and lifelong spider lover, I can only say: VERY awesome.
Where we’re going, we don’t need webs
Like a miniature octoped cat!
Clean your keyboard
Bad advice! Altering a crime scene will get him into jail.
The fly looks stuck at first.
Clean the got damn keyboard, jezuz
But but but, that’s what’s attracting the flies!
Hi, computer repair guy here. Thats far from what I would consider dirty. Keep in mind its zoomed in.
Its not the worst but having flies and spiders on your keyboard is definitely a cauee for concern.
I assumed it was Australia
As another computer repair guy i can vouch for that.
I blinked and I missed it.... Watching it a third time now.
When your keyboard starts to evolve its own wild ecosystem, it’s time to clean it up.
For people that like those cuties: r/jumpingspiders
Jumping spiders?? More like teleporting spiders
Might be time to clean the old keyboard.
Now I miss the little jumpy guy I had in my house last year. We became good friends because my fiance kept leaving the back door open and flys were making there way in. He lived on the wall in the corner of my kitchen. One day I saw a fly land on the wall as I was walking by and I told him to take care of it. I walked by again about five minutes later and he had already paid his rent by taking out the fly.
Definitely staged.
There's no particular reason to think it is staged. Jumping spiders are free-roaming and can turn up in houses.
Glued fly
i blinked and missed the best part!
Like a cougar stalking a deer
The spider is in control while the fly's on ctrl
spider that cats
Everybody else spinning traps while this little guy is straight throwing hands lol
Its like a miniature tiger
So they hunt? What part of the brain triggers predator to be a hunter vs a trapper?
Yes, jumping spiders are active hunters that don't make webs. I can't answer your second question beyond that like any species, their behaviour has developed over time, and spiders in general have a diversity of approaches to catching prey.
The only spider i actually like! Had one in my house the other day, so cute.
They are so adorable
you need to clean your keyboard
Nice catch, little guy!
The keyboard is so dirty that it has its own ecosystem 💀
there's no way the fly didn't see it coming
So it's basically a face hugger.
Right on, one less fucking fly is a good thing!
Oh, oh ,oh cartoonito
Get ‘em spidey
“Fly tiger” is a better name, this being what salticids were called in China during the Ming Dynasty
Literally blink and you’ll miss it.
Nom away, little buddy
Oh my goodness!! Good job jumpy George! We love you!!!
Is the spider a pet? Do you drop a lot of candy on that keyboard?
Bro clean your keyboard
r/childrenoftime
Another reminder of how good it is to be at the top of the food chain.
One could catch a bacterial disease just from looking at that keyboard.
Fly got jumped
How did the fly not see that coming
Portia's children will inherit the world.
Just recently saw a jumping spider on my couch carrying a fly, usually I just take them back outside but this one deserves to live rent free
Crept in like a cat.
Keyboard needs cleaning
The leopards of the invertebrate world
National Geographic on a keyboard
That spider took… control..
I have a black one about the size of a dime that lives in my office. Figure he's eating the bugs my dogs let into the house...
That was fast welcome said the spider to the fly.
I wonder how much of jt is instinct and how much is practice
It's insane how something as tiny as this hunts pretty much like a tiger
They are analogous to cats. Ambush predators.
So you're telling me I can't crush a fly because I'm too slow but that mfer can stand in front of the fly for ages and it doesn't move?
Love jumping spiders
that's a good boy, right there
Clean your keyboard!!!
Lil man out there doing the lords work
Needs filmed on a phantom.
I hate flies. Not sure about keeping spiders but my chameleon can eat dozens of flies. Very entertaining.
Truly the cats of the spider world
That spider compensated for the fact that the fly will take off by jumping higher so it would catch it in mid take off.
Thousands of eyes and he still didn’t see that shit coming.
That’s so cute
aw good catch lil buddy
I have a jumping spider that lives next to my back door. Jumpy hides under the edge of the vinyl siding and he always "looks" at me. I swear he tried to show off for me. Or he's just constantly being super cool. I was able to feed him once with a fly that was being weird just standing in one spot and missing one wing. I was able to put the fly on a small lip of the siding and Jumpy moved so fast I couldn't track his movement. It seemed like he teleported he moved so quickly.
I think I understand what anime characters mean when they say "my eyes can't follow his movements" now. Lil dude straight up teleported.
I remember reading something about jumping spiders noticing when that they’re being observed and either hating it and trying to get away, or putting on a little show for the viewer in the hopes they won’t be crushed or eaten
AND THEN THE CAGE COMES DOWN! The cage with japanese jumping spiders inside...
Well it's time to get a new laptop.
I like when they do this on a vertical surface, such as a wall. I guess they use a tether.
The only time you'll find me cheering for the spider.
Why would you fuck up a cool video with all that noise?
What would you call a breed of spiders that start westernizing themselves upon detecting potential prey?
