Comments & ID Thoughts

I think this is Platycryptus undatus. It's still a baby though, so I'm not quite sure. I haven't been able to get him to eat anything and that concerns me. He ate one cricket when I first got him a month ago, but he hasn't eaten since. My other jumping spider has always thrived, but this one isn't. Any suggestions?

Crickets might be too large, I have raised jumping spiders before and many, especially if they are small, won’t eat anything large. You could try mealworms, my spiders enjoyed those!

I know they love flies, as cliché as that may seem!
