Jumping Spider

Description:

The jumping spider family contains over 500 described genera and over 5,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders with about 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Jumping spiders are generally recognised by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes with one pair being their particularly large anterior median eyes.

Habitat:

Seen at an evergreen type of forest near a river.
