    Default Jumping Spider in with Whites?

    Well over the last couple days, I had noticed a few fruit flys or something of the sort, hanging around near my frog cage. well that apparently caught the eye of a jumping spider who decided to sit and wait on on the top of the cage. I noticed him sitting there, and as i went to remove the cage top and put him outside, he fell into the terrarium. hes about the size of a dime, and i ID'd him as being a Daring Jumping Spider. Should i worry about him in there? if he takes care of the flys, then hes welcome to stay. but Hes big enough that my frog would probably try to eat him. What do you guys think?

    Sounds like a snack for your frogs.

    It won't hurt your Whites and will probably end up as food. In the wild Phidippus audax (Daring Jumping Spider) is on the menu for the Woods Frog, American Toad, Spring Peeper, Southern Leopard Frog and some salamanders. Just to name the amphibians. I wouldn't worry about it.
