Does anyone know any websites where I could get a small moth?
My jumping spider only eats moths but I can never really find any very easily. We have tried giving it crickets and ants but it only likes the moths.
Please help me.

have you tried worms or roaches? those would be easier to find.

Those might be a bit small for an adult, but I guess they never specified the age. Make it rain FFF’s! 😂
Nor was the species specified. I keep a small one and fed it FFF and it molted recently and takes down small crickets now. OP's refuses crickets (didn't say what size offered) so went with the smaller than cricket / bigger than ants option 😆

Small moths are commonly found at night when it's dark. You may have a better chance to find them when the weather is chilly. Well, maybe train your spider to eat whatever you caught and not to be picky! (just joking I don't want your spider to end up dead) :rofl:

you could try getting Wax worms. if your spider eats the worm thats great. if it doesn't, then keep the worms alive long enough and they will turn into moths

I would try dubia roaches, tiny ones. It might be because they're alive? My Jumping Spider eats prekilled dubias, but he seems to favor crickets more. He is a wild caught spider, try feeding pre-killed dubias/tiny crickets and see if it will eat. Put them next to their web and see if they try and eat!
