Salticus scenicus is one of the more common species of jumping spider. Its attractive colouration makes it easy to identify, as well as their distinctive jumping behaviour. These spiders are compact and small; the eyes arranged in such a way they can almost perceive their surroundings through a 360-degree lens. These adaptations enable jumping spiders to effectively zone in on prey, assess it's distance, before leaping on top of it. In the garden, these spiders can be seen on sunny walls and fences, where they await their next meal!
