Jumping Spiders are like the Border Collies of the arachnid world. But instead of jumping up on you and licking your face, they kill you in your sleep.

As spiders go, I think jumping spiders are adorable *promote

Hmm. This could have been done better. I was hoping to see visualizations of:
* Birds' extremely high-speed vision; fast enough to fly through trees' foliage.
* Jumping spiders with 2 focusable main eyes and 6 other eyes.
* Mantis shrimp with their 6+ receptors, including UV, IR and polarization.

Jumping spiders are among the most awesome creatures on earth. Thanks!

Jumping spiders can jump.

So, the jumping spider perceives himself the ultimate threat upon seeing himself in the mirror, countering his every move to threaten himself. RUN AWAY!

All arachnophobes need to do is wear a mirror suit and they'll never have spider problems again.

Ninja Spider, that's what it is. Upvote for shinobi spider skills but I still hate the little bastards though.

Not really, no. I'm fully convinced they actually teleport from place to place.
Watch one all you want, you'll never see him actually jump, they just vanish from where they are, and appear somewhere else.

Can't you just get a kitten or puppy?

Dang, kill it with fire! Too big! Almost like a facehugger on the camera!

I agree, all spiders deserve not but death. I'll kill anyone who disagrees.


I think it's supposed to be "naught"...

Any bastards out there wanna clear that up?
