Family Name: Salticidae
Common Name: Jumping spider
The jumping spider is an active predator,
usually hunting during daylight. It will stalk to within a few body lengths of
the prey, crouch, crawl slowly forward, and then lift its front legs and
pounce. They are among the most ornate of spiders; many species are brightly
colored and strikingly patterned, with stout bodies, short legs and four pairs
of eyes. They are generally small in size (up to 12 mm body length), with
females generally larger than males. They are useful predators of a range of
insects and mites.
