Jumping Spider - Norwood, MA

While waiting for an appointment outside our graphic artist's office I noticed this 1/4" long arachnid on a hunting mission. Most people don't know about this fascinating creature, The Jumping Spider. Pound for pound, milligram for milligram THE MOST FEROCIOUS PREDATOR ON PLANET EARTH! Even more that a Great White Shark! These daytime hunters use objects to gain advantage while stalking, much like say a leopard might. They live flies and can capture them from behind before they know to fly! EHS loves Jumping Spider and after reading this tidbit, we think you may too!
