I found this Daring/Bold Jumping Spider in my car,, living in the door. I caught it and kept it in my lil feeder cricket cage. It ate 3.5 crickets over the 3 days, then I let it go on the backside of the feral cats tub. the tubs covered with a blackout curtain. It's been a few days and I twitch the curtain aside to see if it's still living there. I didn't see it.(Jumping Spiders usually don't roam far from their chosen homes).
The 1st day I gently moved the curtains around, didn't see the spider, walked away, and came back a min later and there it was.. on the middle of the porch looking up at me.
It's been cold the last 2 days, so I didn't even look. Today is alot warmer so I figured I'd give it a shot. I move the curtains around and tried to find the spider for about 10 minutes. Then I grabbed my flashlight and started looking on the underside of where the lid meets the tub and sure enough I found it's home. So I got the cricket and put it on the side of the tub where a little bit of web was and the cricket stuck to that web. (jumping spiders do not catch their prey by using a web, they run and pounce on live prey.) I used my tweezers to move the cricket up a lil more towards the Jumper and it pounced!
