Jumping spiders (Salticidae)

Jumping spiders do not spin webs to catch prey; they jump and pounce on prey instead. With eight eyes, the jumping spider sees in a 360-degree view1. That's what makes them such good hunters.

Some species of jumping spiders are hairy, while others are not. Some exhibit bold colors, while others are brownish. If you check leaf litter, stone clusters, or tree barks, you might find a little jumping spider peeking at you with its big cute eyes.
