Smaller spiders tend to have a bold personality. [3] [12]
In the breeding season, one mated female can lay well over 100 eggs per sac; many females lay more than one egg sac, and it is easy to recognize the egg sacs. Juvenile and adult jumping spiders can be collected via sweep netting or by providing good sites for nests, even in plumber's tubing placed in old fields. [1]

Female lay eggs on the companion web and wrap them up into a sac. Spiderlings eat each other in the sac until the strongest spiderling break the sac wall. [3] The sac can hold from 400 to 1,400 eggs.
