The "Johnson Jumper" ("Phidippus johnsoni") spider is the first of its species to return from a mission into space and successfully readjust to life on Earth. Named "Nefertiti," the arachnid astronaut, or "Spidernaut," lived for 100 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Its mission over, the spider has now landed in the "Insect Zoo" at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., where it will live out the rest of its life — estimated to be about six months — on display with other live arachnids and insects.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X9aQ4rdiMnY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>
