Jumping Spider

Found in a variety of environments including gardens, grasslands, and often inside homes or on man-made structures where they hunt for prey.

Carnivorous predator that eats a wide variety of insects such as flies, moths, beetles, and even other spiders.

Diurnal hunters known for their excellent vision and ability to jump many times their body length to catch prey. They do not spin webs to catch food but may use silk as a dragline or for building silken retreats.

Benefit ecosystems by controlling insect populations. They are generally harmless to humans; while they can bite if trapped or handled roughly, their venom is not medically significant.
