Your letter to the bugman: Hi,
I would love to know more about this beautiful spider whose picture I have attached for you. I have no complaints, curiousity pulls me here. I found it jumping among the flowerpots one day and it was very swift. I love its colour. The spider was 1 cm and blue-green. 🙂
How you want your letter signed: ugh
Dear ugh,
This is a male Jumping Spider in the family Salticidae. Jumping Spiders are considered harmless, and they do not spin webs to snare prey. Instead, they have excellent eyesight and they are able to pounce on prey from a considerable distance with amazing accuracy. Many Jumping Spiders have metallic markings and bright colors. We have not found any matching images online in our quick search, so we cannot provide you with an exact species at this time. Perhaps one of our readers will write in with a link to a species identification.
