Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 72024" data-attributes="member: 4199">after looking up the jumping spiders, what everyone around here calls a jumping spider doesn't appear to be one.  The ones i'm referring to are small, the biggest i've seen is maybe the size of a quarter, legs included.  they're solid black with grey or white bracelets, for lack of a better term, on their legs. The closest i can find to compare looks almost like <a href="http://www.spiderbitetreatment.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/jumping-spider.jpg" target="_blank">this one</a>, but these here don't have the white on the abdomen.I may be allergic to them, the bites are small and just basically a red dot, but they itch insanely.  usually get them in the night while i'm asleep in the spring and fall.  It's either these little black spiders or the brown house spiders we see now and then, but my money is on the black ones as they're more numerous <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
