# Having a particularly restless night and decided to water my plants…

Having a particularly restless night and decided to water my plants while I was waiting for some cookies to bake, and apparently my golden pothos Icarus adopted a little jumping spider at some point 😭  
He's certainly earning his rent by keeping my recurring mealybug issue at bay. Decided to call him Sunny.
