Field Notes

Description:

Tiny (2.5mm long) jumping spider. Possibly a pelegrina sp. though I can't find an exact match on bugguide. Its prey appears to be a small fly of some kind.

Habitat:

Meadow.

Notes:

Jumping spiders have the extra-ordinary ability to jump more than 50 times their own length!
