Size

हिन्दी में

In English

Jumping spiders are shorter than 1 centimeter in length. Color is the most important factor for jumping spider identification. Compared with other spiders, they are far more colorful, and commonly have bright coloration all over their body.

Length

हिन्दी में

In English

Jumping spiders as adults may be as small as 1 mm in length or as large as 23 mm, but most are 5 to 10 mm. All jumping spiders are harmless to humans, although the larger species can give a locally painful bite if roughly handled.

Shedding

हिन्दी में

In English

Like all spiders, Jumping Spiders hatch from eggs, and the hatchlings are very similar to the adults, only smaller. As they grow they have to shed their skin all at once, this is called molting. Most Jumping Spiders have to molt 5 or 6 times before they become adults.

Prey

In English

Jumping spiders are carnivores. They typically eat small insects and other spiders their size or smaller. Some species punch about their weight, though. Many jumping spiders are good at snagging flies as prey, earning them the nickname "fly tigers," according to the University of Florida.
