This is my spitting spider, Jordan, who I've had for about three weeks. I gave her a unisex name because I wasn't sure at first if she was a male or a female, but doesn't appear to have palpal bulbs.

I caught her on my dad's ceiling, thinking she was a yellow sac spider until I looked closer. So far I've feed her a green midge, a male mosquito, and a few fruit flies (both melanogaster and hydei). I got to see her take down the midge, and it was very fascinating to watch.

She doesn't seem picky at all, but I've read here that they should only be fed every 2-3 weeks when mature, so I'll start feeding less often.
