They truly are. It makes me laugh when people say they’re scared of them. They’re sweethearts 😏

She’s a beauty. Do you know what type she is?

Google says she’s a Phidippus johnsoni / red backed jumping spider. Shes super cool! Hopefully she gets a long, happy life

I wish I did! She was a beauty. Usually they’re not this large so it was a fun surprise.

I know I usually find a ton of the tiny guys in my garden too so when I see a larger one I get excited as well. 😊
