Visual signals in the wing display of a tephritid fly deter jumping spider attacks.
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022 Visual animal communication, whether to the same or to other species, is largely conducted through dynamic and colourful signals. For a signal to be effective, the signaller must capture and retain the attention of the receiver.

Visual Perception in the Brain of a Jumping Spider [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are renowned for a behavioral repertoire that can seem more vertebrate, or even mammalian, than spider-like in character. This is made possible by a unique visual system that supports their stalking hunting style and elaborate mating rituals in which the bizarrely marked and colored appendages of males highlight their song ...

Perception of biological motion by jumping spiders
PLOS Biology, 2021 The body of most creatures is composed of interconnected joints. During motion, the spatial location of these joints changes, but they must maintain their distances to one another, effectively moving semirigidly. This pattern, termed “biological motion” in the literature, can be used as a visual cue, enabling many animals (including humans) to ...

Rapid mid-jump production of high-performance silk by jumping spiders [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Jumping spiders (Salticidae) do not rely on webs to capture their prey, but they do spin a silk dragline behind them as they move through their habitat. They also spin this dragline during jumps, continuously connecting them with the surface they leapt from.
