Facts about a Jumping Spider
Among arthropods, jumping spiders, or Salticids, are known for their superior eyesight. Jumping spiders are equipped with eight eyes, four of which are apportioned to the face and four of which are located at the highest point of the carapace. Long and tube-like, the two eyes located at the center of the face have limited perspective and high resolution. In contrast, the other eyes have low acuity and a wider field of view.
Jumping spiders are also famous for their agility. Jumping spiders are some of the fastest moving arthropods in existence and, as their name suggests, are capable of leaping. The circulatory system of these spiders is responsible for their mobility. When blood pressure rises in their limbs, their bodies move by way of released pressure.
