Jumping Spider - Family Salticidae I found this tiny, yet very gravid, jumping spider feasting on globular springtails (order Symphypleona). They were on a milkweed plant that was growing on the edge of a pond. She was very quick and was able to gobble up 5 springtails in just a few minutes.<br /> <br /> I don&#039;t know the genus for this spider, but it may be Neon sp., Pelegrina sp., or Zygoballus sp....Or, something completely different. <br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/60909/jumping_spider_-_family_salticidae.html" title="Jumping Spider - Family Salticidae"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/60909_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=6g8ysTKS3AfV930gwnlL2Dsfu4A%3D" width="200" height="146" alt="Jumping Spider - Family Salticidae I found this tiny, yet very gravid, jumping spider feasting on globular springtails (order Symphypleona).

    Beautiful species! So hard to identify though. This page does look somewhat useful, but it's still not easy:

      Thanks for the link. I was hoping to find an ID before posting, but found it to be very difficult. I will check out the link though and hopefully will get this little gal identified. Posted 7 years ago
