Field Notes
Description:
"Like all true spiders, the jumping spiders do create silk, but not for web making. Instead, they use the silk to line their places of refuge to make them more comfortable, they use the silk to create a covering for their cluster of eggs." ( http://buginfo.com/article.cfm?id=92 ).
Habitat:
Spotted on variegated croton (Codiaeum variegatum) in a large semi-urban yard & garden adjacent to a disturbed remnant patch of forest, in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
Notes:
