Yeah, just don't stick your face right up to one to get a good look--they'll jump right at you. Found that out the hard way.

I love these little creatures. I find them all over my house. They aren’t leggy enough to trigger my arachnophobia, their turret heads remind me of tanks (always an endearing image), and those eyes look alien and intelligent. And they eat bugs (and sometimes web-weaving spiders). (Thanks Dear Thomas for beautiful text and photos)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://zuzutop.com/2009/07/cute-little-jumping-spiders/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/zuzutop.com/img/F4F5C62A-B3AF-4410-9834-E7B85EAEE4CF" alt="cute animals spiders (2)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://zuzutop.com/2009/07/cute-little-jumping-spiders/"><P>Salticids are small (most are less than one inch long), and they can <SPAN id="IL_AD1" class="IL_AD">jump</SPAN> 10 – 40 times their body length to pounce on prey or to avoid becoming prey. They accomplish this using good ol’ fashioned hydraulics: they pump fluid into their legs quick enough to allow them to spring at lighting speed. Enjoy these photos.
