Jumping spiders are small arachnids belonging to the family Salticidae. They are known for their excellent vision and unique jumping ability, which they use to catch prey and navigate their environment. With over 6,000 species, they can be found in various habitats worldwide, from forests to deserts.
These spiders have a distinctive appearance, often featuring vibrant colors and patterns. Unlike many other spiders, jumping spiders do not spin webs to catch food; instead, they actively hunt insects. Their large front-facing eyes provide depth perception, allowing them to judge distances accurately when leaping.
