Have you tried crickets or flying prey? Jumpers tend to respond better to prey with erratic movement

You should try wingless fruitflies. Go on your local Craigslist (we have Kijiji in Montreal) and you might find some; keyword "fruit flies." I don't have a Diardi but whatever species mine is went for a winged fruitfly the minute I put it in the cage.

Are they a specifically arboreal species? Some more arboreal species of jumping spiders don’t like meal worms and crickets as much. Flies are a quite universal favorite for most jumpers. I would recommend some flies next.
