Odd jumping spiderling

[AzuraStar]

I cannot take a clear pic but my spiderling Lilith Immaculate is so odd she makes her hammocks in the sand and only there. Any one know why?

What species of jumping spider? Many jumping spiders prefer a humid environment. For most of the jumping spiders commonly kept in the hobby, sand would not be an appropriate substrate. There are some species, Maratus albus for example, who are found on beaches and sand dunes in Australia. This behavior would make sense for a species like that.

My immediate assumption is that the spider is possibly looking for some moisture in the substrate if it is not a species like the one mentioned above.

I will try and get a pic to show but I'm not sure what species, where I live in texas there's tons of sand in my yard I found her outside so I figured sand would be okay, she seems to really like it. I keep it humid and everything

I’m not informed about all the jumping spider species in Texas, but it could be a species that displays this behavior in the wild. If you’re providing water and it’s needs are met I wouldn’t be concerned.

Okay thank you!

Here is a better pic if you can tell the species?

Looks like it may be Naphrys acerba. Just a guess!

Or some type of habronattus. I've found a few here in TX before.
If it is a habronattus, it's nearly full grown at that size.

Yeah Micro jumpers I rarely see them here.
