If he wasn't so damned cute he'd have a real problem on his hands.
Jumping spiders are fucking awesome. I kept one for a little while. She laid two egg sacs that both hatched successfully. Cool fucking animals.

This is klothos. 
The fact that you call him pervert because he's watching you "work", raise some questions on the latter.
A little elbow grease, really putting my back into it...
All the way up to the elbow? Damn that is impressive!
Sex work is work though
One of my old flats, I would sometimes see a small jumping spider staring at me from the sink, while I was trying to poop. And we'd always have to have a small discussion about boundaries, and "please don't jump on me, I can literally see you thinking about it
Cute little shits, and they never did jump on me while I was pooping... but they always reminded me that it was an option
Jumpers are the best, they are legit adorable 😍
They're cute, smart, friendly, and hunt other spiders. What's not to love?
Some jumping spiders show signs of thinking and planning while hunting their prey. More than thought possible before some studies. Nice picture.
They're learning....
They also appear to enter REM sleep! Excellent video on spider cognition:
tldr: YOU ARE PREY!!!!
That is no pervert, he lives there.
They are the most adorable little spiders. One time I was at the park with my kids and I had a cold drink that had condensation on the outside. There was a jumping spider on the table I was sitting at. I put down my drink, he comes and drinks the condensation. I pick it up for a drink, he retreats. Rinse and repeat for half an hour. I was so delighted, it was delightful.
What, exactly, is the job? …. I mean what’s the position called? …
So. Cute.
Not sure where you're located, but it looks like a hungry little female Regal
PNW - I thought it would be a male with the colorful patterns but that's my bird brain lol
If you're in the PNW it's not likely a Regal. It could be a Bold? I cant see the pedipalps well enough in the pic to say for sure but I still think it's a female just based on the big ol' booty.
Does this help? Junk in the trunk confirmation:
Ok, the subject was super cute so you had your work cut out for you, however technically getting a fairly good pic like that took some effort (or luck, if you took only one quick pic), gg!
Thanks!

Much like with a bear or a big cat attack - if it happens I'm gonna try to sneak in one last lil pet!

Edit: you know, I’ve been out of work for a while. Perhaps I should write a book.
Looks like rocky
