Plexippus paykulli
(Pantropical Jumper)

Comments & ID Thoughts

My room is on the second story of a pretty tall house. This little guy (about the size of a dime) is trapped in between the glass of my window and the mesh. Every time I see them, they’re snacking on a gnat. I watch them and it’s like they’re using the mesh as a web. Gnats fly up and get caught in it and Peter (spider’s name) goes over and eats them.
