I just rescued this little plant, and she already has a little friend!!! I really want to keep it as an adorable little pet spider, but I also think that releasing it outside would be good. What do you guys think?

Jumping spiders have big personalities! They know when you come home. They act like dogs.

No way seriously??

Yes! They sell them as pets. There are several varieties. I had a zebra jumping spider and later his descendants hangout on my kitchen counter for months. Only one or two would show up when I got home. I think they realized I attracted more mosquitoes than anyone else in the house! 😅 They could knock a mosquito out of the air very quickly by jumping.
