I don't know if I would go as far as saying they are cute:) But I am more comfortable being close to the little ones that being close to a big spider. I will keep trying because they make great photos! Thank you ForestDragon!

Jumping spiders are pretty cute though! If you have to get used to some type, I would say they are a good start. Haha! Very nice images.

That's exactly what I mean:) Glad to see you getting over that! It's definitely worth it!

You know how they creep me out! It is shocking to me that I am actually choosing to be within a few inches of these spiders!

You're getting really good at spiders Stephanie! I never thought I'd see the day:)
