Jumping Spiders or Salticid Spiders is a superfamily containing just the one family; the Salticidae. The largest family of the spiders it counts 6,618 species in 677 genera, 15 of which are unplaced and the remainder divided into 7 subfamilies as of November 2023. In other words, about one in every seven described spider species belongs here. Despite being such a large family, the Salticidae have been well-analysed both for morphology and phylogeny and it is well accepted that as a group, they are indeed monophyletic. The Jumping Spiders are among the most studied of all arachnids but their relative small size means that many species are likely yet to be discovered. Being very well studied also means that taxonomically there have been numerous adjustments over the years with more than 240 genera removed due to them being synonyms for other, older names and 50 homonyms having been replaced.

The Salticids are easily distinguished from other similar species when comparing the shape of the cephalothorax and the eyes. Jumping Spiders are 'flat-faced' with the middle two of the lower row of eyes featuring very prominently at the top of their 'face'. These two eyes are much larger than the other six and it is presumed the Jumping Spiders enjoy excellent eyesight for hunting at night. The front two pairs of legs of Jumping Spiders also are much bulkier and longer than the rear two pairs even though it is the rear legs that are relied upon for their jumps. The front legs are likely used for catching prey and for species recognition much like ants would use their antennae on each other.
The legs of Salticid spiders commonly do not heve spines. This feature sets them apart from other 'flat-faced' spider families such as the Corinnidae (Ground and Ant-mimic Sca Spiders), the Thomisidae (Crab Spiders) and the Oxyopidae (Lynx Spiders). |

Spiders in this superfamily enjoy a worldwide distribution and they occur wherever it is not too cold. As is often the case with plants and animals, the greatest diversity of Jumping Spiders is found in rain forests but practically all other terrestrial habitats, even our own backyards, have a good share of Jumping Spiders living in them.
Jumping Spiders, as odd as this may sound, almost appear 'intelligent'. Their hunting methods and the way they move seems very deliberate; they exhibit caution as well as curiosity in the manner in which they react to humans carefully observing them, almost as if they are calculating the level of risk presented to them. Many of these spider also have elaborate mating rituals that in a number of species rivals that of some birds.. The males of such species are often brightly coloured for just this purpose. |
