Happy International Jumping Spider Day! As part of our Spiders Around the World exhibition, you won’t want to miss these cuties. Known for their incredible vision and nimble jumps, these spiders perform unique "dances" during courtship and rivalry. With a keen hunting strategy, they stalk and pounce on their prey rather than using webs. Jumping spiders inhabit a variety of environments and their large forward-facing eyes give them a distinct advantage when hunting. Visit this October to see our Regal Jumping Spiders up close, or keep a close eye in your backyard to see them out in the wild!
