House of Jumping Spiders


There are more than 500 different genera of jumping spiders family and around 5,000 species. This is approximately 13% of all spider species in the world. They don’t seem to scare easily but the fact that they can jump does tend to scare many people. They aren’t sure of where this Spider is going to land.

This is one of the few types of Spiders that does have excellent vision. They have four pairs of large eyes. They have three rows of eyes that help them to see what all is around them.

They also have lungs and a tracheal system that are well developed. They function through a process called bimodal breathing. They feature thousands of small hairs that allow them to have traction for climbing up terrain – including glass.- spidersworld.com
