What Is A Jumping Spider?
According to Terminx, “Jumping spiders, belonging to the family Salticidae, are known for their exceptional jumping ability, which they use to pounce on prey or navigate their environment. Unlike many spiders that rely on webs to catch food, jumping spiders use their acute vision, provided by their large, forward-facing eyes, to spot and stalk their prey before leaping onto it. This hunting method, along with their agility and speed, makes them effective predators.”
