    Then it turns out to be a spotted lanternfly or another insect.

    Or a jumping spider.

          The jumping spider that landed on me was just a baby and was placed on my window sill. I have a photo of it somewhere.

          Edit: friend shaped spider. I took these on an iphone SE ages ago and pulled them from my old group chat so they got compressed heavily.

            Kept one of those guys for a couple months after catching him on my living room wall. He ate small crickets readily and had web covering the walls and ceiling of his enclosure. Left the door unlatched one day and back into my house he went!

            I’ll have another one eventually, their hunting behavior is so fun to watch, especially when catching prey as big as them.

      Jumping spiders are adorable. I have found ticks in my bed a couple times though so I worry about that
