Hey y'all, my bold jumper female recently laid an egg sac and then she would NOT be found for quite a while after. Since she was wild caught and a mature adult, I'm thinking she was at the end of her lifespan perhaps (tear), as I found her yesterday underneath some leaf litter and I'm guessing she had been there for a while. I'd continued to put mealworms in the enclosure once the babies were out, and mist, but hadn't seen her in so long I figured she might have been a goner.

Yesterday, I caught a wee little one. Am thinking Twin-Flagged Jumper (anasaitis canosa), but am not sure as they're a wee fren. Species ID/confirmation and any guesses re: gender much appreciated! They're curious and I've given them some flightless fruit flies, but not sure how interested they are yet in eating (good thing I have plenty of fruit flies left from the audax babies!).

Correct, Anasaitis canosa.
