Field Notes

A species of jumping spider from the Laufeia genus which very little is known about. A 7mm in length, possibly female.

This is because these posterior eyes are evolved to see better horizontally for predators while it's anterior median eyes are looking vertically down the trees for preys climbing up the tree. This species is common on trees with peeled barks.
Habitat:
Lives on tree barks around Sukau Bed&Breakfast, Sukau, Lower Kinabatangan river, Sabah.
