Although many don’t take the time to look, jumping spiders are pretty adorable when taking a closer look. They have big eyes and a fuzzy body. But you may be asking, “Why would we look at a spider up close? And to be honest I don’t think anybody who doesn’t study spiders looks at them closely so why should we?” Well, it’s because these spiders are truly amazing, But don’t take my word for it, let me show you why.

Jumping spiders, like any other spiders, have a particular environment that suits their needs to survive. They can be found in a variety of habitats such as vegetation, rocky terrain, wood piles, and even buildings like most spiders. jumping spiders are a fascinating species that continue to surprise and intrigue us with their unique habitats and behaviors.

Jumping spiders have multiple different appearances. Jumping spiders are often mistaken for black widows due to their compact black bodies with relatively short legs. Although black jumping spiders aren’t the only kinds, they could also be brown, tan, or gray with pale white, gray, yellow, red, blue, or green markings. Adult jumping spiders range in size from about 4 to 18mm and are typically covered in dense hairs or scales that are brightly colored or iridescent.

Jumping spiders also have a very normal diet. Like most other spiders, they eat many insects such as flies, mosquitoes, moths, and ants. But they also do sometimes eat other spiders, especially the web-building spiders themselves. But only on occasion do they eat insects called springtails or tiny beetles. Jumping spiders may also consume other arachnids like mites and small scorpions.

Although many people won’t believe me if I brought this up, jumping spiders are almost everywhere in the world. However, jumping spiders aren’t found in the polar or arctic regions due to the extreme cold. But I mean what spider is? Jumping spiders are typically found in just about every habitat in the world and mostly reside in tropical areas for the warmth and nuisance provided during the summer, but they will hang out in chillier climates as well.
