Hey Deep Peeps! - We have one more jumping spider behind-the-scenes video for you! University of California, Berkeley PhD candidate Trinity Walls explains what happens when a male regal jumping spider sees his reflection in a mirror. 

We’re thinking the male jumping spider is saying. “Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the bravest of them all?”  😉  What do you think?

I love the way you set up these examples of spider behavior. I was wondering how different, how long, and if there were injuries when this happened in the wild? If two males meet does this always happen? Can two males be friendly towards each other?
