Facts about jumping spiders
Have you ever been bitten by a spider before? Spider bites are usually not dangerous, but it is important to stay calm and check for certain features. The color, stripes or markings, and size of a spider will determine if you’ll need medical attention after a bite.
You can also try to kill the spider after it bites you, so you can take a picture to get a better look. The Washington State University describes Phidippus audacity ( also known as an “orchard spider”) as one of the most popular types of jumping spider with a white and orange spot on its abdomen.
Other species of jumping spiders may have stripes of black and white on their abdomens. This type of spider is rarely found in webs. They usually hunt by using their hind limbs to jump forward and capture insects. They can also be seen hanging using one strand of silk thread.
