ok i was putting together a simple caresheet for jumping spiders, i don't know it all so please correct me if i am wrong, if you have anything to add (I'll add to the list)...........so people can use as reference.
I've also added some good links, with quotes too.
Habitat:
Need more wall space then floor, so a jar or a tall cage of descent size will do.
Substrate can be anything from nothing, paper towel or most preferred substrate will do, avoid any outdoor soils. You can place props and decoration such as leaves , but it isn’t necessary as they will web up their own hiding spots.
Misting one side of the cage, several days a week should be sufficient.
Temperature:
Room temperature ranging from 60-70 degrees is good, they do not need any special lighting.
Food:
In the small range Crickets , mealvvworms, roaches can be fed dead or alive. 3 times a week or once a week

Jumping spiders, such as this one, lurk in ambush for their prey, then jump out to catch their meal. They have well-developed eyes to detect movement. There are some small jumping spiders living in our electron microscope lab, and you can tell that they watch what we do! They follow our movements very well.
