The Garden Defender

Here is my pet Phiddipus audax I kept over the winter that is now ready to be set free. It finally got warm enough outside for her to safely setup shop outside again. She will now be the defender of my balcony garden plants and hopefully get fat off aphids and flies. Before letting her go I took her for a walk in front of the camera. She was a good sport for the most part as she is used to being handled, she only jumped on the camera lens a few times and held still for long enough to get the autofocus on her. I made a little #straturday song to go along with the video to match the fast tempo of her movements. It has electronic drums from Toontrack's EZ drummer and strange ambient guitar riffing to match her personality as a jumping spider. I'll be keeping an eye out for her as I take care of the plants and hopefully she can make a return in a future video. Thanks for watching :-) #straturday #jumpingspider
