I saw a bold jumper [1] a few months ago and it was truly beautiful. It was quite large, black and white, and had iridescent mouthparts. It really felt like coming across a shiny Pokemon IRL.

They are fairly common in the SF Bay Area.

Not only are they cute (the have a fuzzy look about them) but they tend to eat the stuff we hate. I tend to have one or two in my back yard almost every summer.

I could do with out the black widows


Just had to bop a black widow in my office a couple months back. I’ve been check the spot she had set up in every few days since, I will for years I bet.

I played Grounded and I swear that game fucked me up.


Yeah, these guys are cool! Found one on a cucumber in my garden last year.
