Jumping Spiders (Salticidae)
摘要
Nearly 13% of all spider species are jumping spiders (Salticidae). With over 6500 species, they are the most species-rich family of all. Jumping spiders are found throughout the world and are abundant in all terrestrial habitats. They do not build capture webs but stalk their prey before jumping on it to overpower it (hence their name). This is followed by a bite with the mouthparts, preferably in the head or thorax area, where the large muscle packages and nerve centers of their prey are located and where their venom works particularly quickly.
