Episode notes

Kate randy, casual spider keeper, says she misses her spiders every day for water. She gets them a few small crickets from the pet store i work at once a week and then release them after a few weeks. A ye, i will say you, your set up sounds pretty nice. There are some species that are adapted to really humad environments like desert and desert jumping spiders. And then just make sure that you're feeding them small enough crickets.

They dance. They flirt. They will steal your heart. They are spiders. Jumping spiders, specifically, and impassioned spider scientist Dr. Sebastian Echeverri is on board to tell you all about their sexy dances. How far can a jumping spider jump? What makes a good spider dancer? Why are they so cute? Can you sample their mating drumming and make a sick industrial-EDM track that feels like you’re in a Berlin discotheque? Buckle up for the grooviest Spooktober of your life.
