Bold jumping spider
The bold jumping spider is a small spider that hunts by sight, leaping onto its prey instead of catching it in a web. It is common across North America and is often found near people, in gardens, fields and on fence posts. It matters because it eats many crop pests.1

Paano ito makikilala
- A large, usually triangular white spot in the centre of the abdomen, with two smaller spots below it.1
- Iridescent green chelicerae (the front mouthparts).1
- White banding with fringes on the legs and pedipalps, which is more prominent in males.1
- Males have more striking markings than females and tufts of hair over their eyes.1
- Large forward-facing eyes, as with all jumping spiders.1
Madalas mapagkamalang: Phidippus regius has a similar abdominal pattern and lives in the same area of the southeastern United States. In the bold jumper the pale spots near the rear are more linear, while in P. regius they are more oval. The bold jumper also has pairs of matte black patches on its abdomen, which P. regius lacks.1
Lakas ng kamandag
Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.
Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
Bold jumpers use venom to immobilise their prey after biting it with their fangs.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: BanayadParang kagat ng bubuyog o mas mahina. Halos hindi nakapipinsala sa tao.Bites from this spider are rare. A bite may happen if the spider feels threatened or is mishandled. If it is handled, it generally does not bite.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
When threatened, they flee by jumping down and away or by hiding in small crevices.1
Kung kumagat ito
- Hugasan ang kagat at lagyan ng ice pack para sa sakit. Kumuha ng tulong medikal kung matindi ang sakit, kumakalat, o masama ang pakiramdam ng tao.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
Bold jumpers have some of the best eyesight of any spider. Their vision is widely regarded as the best among all spiders.1
Their four pairs of eyes give them nearly 360° of visual coverage around the head.1
Bold jumpers sometimes invade the webs of other spiders to steal insects that have been caught, or to attack the spiders themselves.1
Bold jumpers can change their behaviour after watching other spiders, which is rare among spiders.1
Females choose mates by watching the male's leg and body movements during his courtship dance.1
Spiderlings often spread to new places by ballooning, a way of travelling on silk threads in the wind.1
Myth buster
Mito: Like most spiders, jumping spiders catch their prey in webs.
Totoo: Bold jumpers do not build webs to catch prey. They hunt actively by sight and leap onto their victims.1
