The Jumping Spiders
have always been one of my favorites. They have eyes like
headlights. They are very responsive to a finger pointed at them and
will turn to face it. And they can jump several inches. The
Jumping spiders catch their prey by pouncing on it rather than with a
web. And they are quite colorful with their red, white and black
markings. This Jumping Spider has a small cricket or grasshopper
that it probably found in the mulch nearby.
