Jumping Spider; Araña Saltadora

Aelurillus sp.

Description:

Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among invertebrates and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Though they normally move quietly and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats. Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes with very large anterior median eyes.

Habitat:

This species is mainly present in southern Europe up to Azerbaijan, in Ivory Coast, and in Tanzania. Spotted in a village park.

Camera Model: NIKON D300. Exposure Time: 1/60 sec. f/22 ISO Speed Rating: 200. Focal Length: 90.0 mm. Flash fired
