| Jumping spiders
The jumping spider family (Salticidae)
contains more than 500 described genera and over 5,000
species, making it the largest family of spiders with about
13% of all species (Peng et al., 2002). 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).
Habitat
Jumping spiders live in a variety of habitats. 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 Mt. Everest (Wanless, 1975).
Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye
pattern.
Behaviour
Jumping spiders are generally diurnal, active hunters. Their
well developed internal hydraulic system extends their limbs
by altering the pressure of body fluid (blood) within them.
This enables the spiders to jump without having large
muscular legs like a grasshopper. The jumping spider can
therefore jump 20 to 60 or even 75-80 times the length of
their body. When a jumping spider is moving from place to
place, and especially just before it jumps, it tethers a
filament of silk to whatever it is standing on. Should it
fall for one reason or another, it climbs back up the silk
tether. Jumping spiders are Scopula bearing spiders, which
means that they have a very interesting Tarsal section. And
the end of each leg they have hundreds of tiny hairs, which
each then split into hundreds more tiny hairs, each tipped
with an "end foot". These thousands of tiny feet allow them
to climb up and across virtually any terrain. They can even
climb up glass by gripping onto the tiny imperfections,
usually an impossible task for any spider.
Jumping spiders also use their silk to weave small tent-like
dwellings where females can protect their eggs, and which
also serve as a shelter while moulting.
Jumping spiders are known for their curiosity. If approached
by a human hand, instead of scuttling away to safety as most
spiders do, the jumping spider will usually leap and turn to
face the hand. Further approach may result in the spider
jumping backwards while still eyeing the hand. The tiny
creature will even raise its forelimbs and "hold its
ground". Because of this contrast to other arachnids, the
jumping spider is regarded as inquisitive as it is seemingly
interested in whatever approaches it.
Jumping spiders are in the family Salticidae. Jumping
spiders come in many sizes and color patterns. Active
hunters during the day with good eyesight, relying primarily
on movement to locate prey.
The jumping spider family (Salticidae)
contains more than 500 described genera and over 5,000
species, making it the largest family of spiders with about
13% of all species (Peng et al., 2002). 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).
They stalk their prey
before attacking in a fast leap. Jumping spiders put out a
line of webbing when they jump and can sometimes be seen
dangling from this silken dragline after a leap that fails.
Many jumping spiders are bold, stocky and often brightly
colored. They often have conspicuous bands of black and
white on their bodies or legs. Others have velvety red
abdomens and some even have metallic colors on the
chelicerae.
Jumping spiders have eight
eyes, with one large pair in the front. Like most spiders,
jumping spiders are not considered hazardous to humans and
are unlikely to bite unless cornered or handled. |
