Who You Calling Four … Er … Eight Eyes?

By Editor  //  Creatures, Insects  //  No Comments

Ever asked your mom for a pet spider, only to have her give you a flat out “no way, jose”? Well, here’s an idea – ask her first for a pet jumping spider first! This spider is king of the arachnids world, and rules with fangs of venom. Not only do they have the highest IQ of all spiders, but jumping spiders also have eight eyes, both of which helps them to perfectly calculate how to leap great distances, but land squarely on a victim’s back – which happens just seconds before the jumping spider injects paralyzing venom into its victim. Oh, and did I mention how far they can jump? A whooping six and a half feet – that’s taller than me!

Okay, okay, so your mom will probably say no to this, too (and with good reason), but comparatively, a nice litle, say, tarantula will look as innocent as a field mouse!

Look for these delightfully deadly creatures in your “Toxic Terrors” cards!
