Jumping spiders are usually very tiny, at about 4 -7 mm, though some are much bigger (up to about 15mm). They are amongst the cutest in the spider world. Even those who dislike spiders find something very "cute" about these ones. It may be because the middle two (the anterior median eyes) of their 8 eyes are very large and Bambi-like! We have many, many jumping spiders at the FWG, not a great variety in terms of species, but a lot of individuals. These are daytime hunters and often found perched on leaves, logs and even the Interpretive Centre.
