Jump takeoff in a small jumping spider [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Comparative Physiology A, 2021
Jumping in animals presents an interesting locomotory strategy as it requires the generation of large forces and accurate timing. Jumping in arachnids is further complicated by their semi-hydraulic locomotion system. Among arachnids, jumping spiders (Family Salticidae) are agile and dexterous jumpers.

Predatory Behavior of Jumping Spiders

Annual Review of Entomology, 1996
Salticids, the largest family of spiders, have unique eyes, acute vision, and elaborate vision-mediated predatory behavior, which is more pronounced than in any other spider group. Diverse predatory strategies have evolved, including araneophagy, aggressive mimicry, myrmicophagy, and prey-specific prey-catching behavior. Salticids are also distinctive

Fine structure of the eyes of jumping spiders

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1971
The four pairs of eyes in two species of jumping spiders (Metaphidippus harfordi and Phidippus johnsoni) were studied by light and electron microscopy. Unique features of the anteromedial eyes, used in acute vision, are: stratification of receptors (basis of color vision?); rhabdomeres in anterior row of receptors in two planes perpendicular to each ...
