Found on the blinds in my room. Took it to the kitchen area for some photos, then released it there, and it got eyes on a fly right away. It was verrry slowly creeping up on this fly for a good 5 minutes before it pounced.

Found right outside of my bedroom door this morning. After taking photos of a few of the other male morph of this species yesterday, and not being able to get any of this morph, this one clearly realized it had missed a great modeling opportunity, and went on a journey to find me the following morning! 😄

Took a photo of it indoors before releasing it out in the hostas where all the other ones are. Right after releasing it, it grabbed a drink from a drop of water and got right to work, catching something like a small fly after a couple minutes (see 4th photo). It then moved onto the geranium right next to the hosta I had put it on.

Found this little one on the wall, so I got a photo of it there before deciding I'd move it to a better setup for a few shots. It was only making slow, small movements, which seemed odd. I put it on the windowsill next to the wall I found it on, and it didn't move from there. I attempted to give it some water, but it didn't seem interested. A day or so later and it was still there, but its legs had curled up under it. I figured it was dead, but it wasn't! A week later, it got warm enough outside for me to open my window again. When I did, I later found that it moved in closer to the window with its legs now uncurled, so I took it outside and it went on its way. 😮

This little jumper was hanging around on my walls/ceiling for a couple days. It kept stopping when it came around to me at my desk and would sit there looking in my direction for a bit before moving on

Platycryptus undatus juvenile. 5mm
Found inside on the floor in my kitchen. I later adopted this one as my pet after taking a few photos.

She gained around 1mm with each molt.
She has now reached adulthood:

The most curious and photogenic little cutie I ever found! She was on a houseplant that I took outside to repot, at which point she emerged from the foliage. I suspect she’s a descendant of the others of her species that used to live in my house.
