- The jumping spider family (Salticidae) contains more than 500 described genera and about 5,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders with about 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have good vision and use it for hunting and navigating. They are capable of jumping from place to place, secured by a silk tether. Both their book lungs and the tracheal system are well-developed, as they depend on both systems (bimodal breathing).
- Tropical forests harbor the most species, but they are also found in temperate forests, scrub lands, deserts, intertidal zones, and even mountains. Euophrys omnisuperstes is a species reported to have been collected at the highest elevation, on the slopes of Mount Everest.

thanks Emma...it's just that i like taking photos with Jumping Spider in front view and as much as possible i'm gonna position my camera parallel with them...so love the eyes and i want to get closer as i can...coz sometimes when i want to crop it, i still have an enough clearance for me to composed well..and to avoid some noise...for this foto it took me around 20-30 minutes of chasing it before i got this clear shot...
so adorable!! How do you get your spiders to stay still?

Hello Mhyke,
first off, I am stunned by your collection of pictures. Awesome.
But we would like to ask you kindly if you please would change the names/IDs of your spottings into the common way and avoid the use of "tags".
Project Noah is trying to keep the listings of species in the most usable overview for all users.
Thank you for your understanding, looking forward to more pictures from you to come.
