Description

Sitticus is a genus of jumping spiders known for their unique courtship dances and vivid body patterns. Contrary to popular belief, these spiders do not 'jump' out of aggression or to attack humans; rather, they use their exceptional jumping ability to pounce on prey and to navigate their environment. This impressive leap, powered by sudden changes in their body's internal pressure, helps them ambush insects, demonstrating a fascinating blend of precision and power in the arachnid world.
