Well, turns out we are wrong. We caught a Carrothus xanthogrammar, which is a north european species that would just about live in my area.
As amazing as it would have been to find out one of my escapees had made it outside and stayed nearby, this was also a pretty amazing experience!

Among speculations of environmental influence and calculating the minimal chances of any neighbor having jumping spiders, we were convinced this could not be a local species. We do not have ANYTHING like that.

When we were inside, I looked at it closely and kept having doubts. I had lost a female Ph. johnsoni and this looked like a male. And even though this was bigger than the ometepe I had lost and must have gone through molts, mine had green on its butt. Googling showed that neither of them fit 100%.

When we had caught it, we were convinced, it could not be a domestic species, so we excitedly assumed it was one of my escapees, namely my escaped Ph. ometepe from April or even my escaped Ph. johnsoni from even earlier.

Yesterday, as we were in the yard, @crazydegulady.bsky.social excitedly called me to get a small container RIGHT NOW and hurry.
She had noticed a jumping spider on a beam and it looked unlike the Salticus scenicus and Marpissa muscosa jumpers that we tend have in nature here.

She walked up to me on the table, so I put the sugar lit over her
I believe this is a Marpissa muscosa female

strip of fabric sample, cut the grass and branch to size. Soak moss.
Glue grass, drill hole cover, branch and clothes pin with hammock to the inside of the enclosure. Tweezers help. Put a bit of soaked moss into the drill hole cover.
Done!

you can make beautiful little baby nurseries with Rock display cases. All you need is an HSS coated conical drill bit [usually for metal] or several HSS coated normal bits in the right sizes, hot glue and a few accessories.

Sooo… we gave kitty a big fat flesh fly we found on my window. We thought she would probably not go for due to its size.
Kitty thought otherwise.

Marshmallow is driving me nuts! He‘s thin but doesn‘t eat anything! He also does not grow or molt.
He‘s my very first spood and others have outgrown him.

Quite randomly, one of the lights we got for the enclosures was not a yellow light like the others but a color changing one that had snuck into the box. So we made a Spider-Disco.

And then there is this little Phidippus sp. ometepe. She is replacing my previous one, Kiwano, which sadly escaped and could not be found. As of this time, she has not dared to explore her new home.

Madame Phidippus sp. dos Gardenas offered me a drum solo as she was watching me. She did not like my offering of gold fly grub, though.

We have three lovely Phidippus otiosus Orange. The first two are females, the last is smaller and unsexed at this point.

A beautiful Ph. r. Bahamas andros lady. She moved into the enclosure that was originally for my other Bahamas, Marshmallow, but Marshmallow does not believe in molts and growing and never outgrows his current home which he likes better.
