Firefly flashing and jumping spider predation
Animal Behaviour, 2012Bioluminescent flashing in fireflies, while primarily a sexual signal, is known to deter some predators while attracting others. We tested whether flashing serves an antipredator function against two species of diurnal, visually hunting jumping spiders, Phidippus princeps and Phidippus audax. To confirm anecdotal reports that fireflies flash during the

Extraordinary creatures: jumping spiders
Journal of Experimental BiologyThere are almost 7000 species of jumping spider on the planet, with the family comprising 10–13% of all spiders. Found on all continents except Antarctica, they can live at altitudes of up to 7000 m and are even capable of surviving under water, thanks to hydrophobic hairs that hold a bubble of air around the cuticle.

Orientation by Jumping Spiders in the Absence of Visual Feedback
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1971ABSTRACT Jumping spiders turn to face moving objects. These turns are mediated by the lateral eyes. They can be accomplished accurately whether or not the spider sees the relative movement of the stimulus across the retinae which would normally result from such a turn.
