The most Beautiful Spider in the World

People often ask, who is the most beautiful spider in the world?

You are lucky, because I know the answer – it’s the Jumping Spider! (a.k.a Salticidae) I have to admit, I’m being a bit subjective here, because there haven’t been any spider beauty contests yet.

This little spider disprove the stereotype about spiders being ugly and scary (anyone with arachnophobia here?).

Jumpers beauty secret is his 8 big eyes, and besides looking very cute, this little creature is also a very curious one.

I’m giving lots of bamboo leaves for macro photographers – without them, we couldn’t see these incredible macro photos, and now let’s jump to the photos. Let we see those incredible photos below.

Jumper can jump 20 to 60 or even 75 to 80 times the length of its body.

It belongs to the largest family of spiders with about 13% of all species.

Jumping spiders have a superb vision which is better than any other kind of spider. With his eight eyes a jumper can see in almost every direction at once and is often regarded as nature’s best stalkers – as good as lions and tigers.

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.

They are generally diurnal, active hunters.
