Field Notes

Description:

Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider families because of the shape of the cephalothorax and their eye patterns. The legs of jumping spiders are not covered with any very prominent spines. The front legs are generally larger to assist in grasping prey,

Habitat:

On a guard rail next to a road.
