Four Pairs of Eyes and Legs Plus Four Distinct Color Ranges

Click me to make me pop out of the screen

There are days when you hunt high and low for interesting buggies but no matter where you look, you end up with zero. But just as when I was about to give up, this little jumping spidey was spotted sitting on top of my car. It's an unusual hunting ground for this little fella who by nature is curious and inquisitive.

Because of their eyes, fur and fangs, jumping spiders are a staple for macro photographers. The four pairs of eyes are so unique, they're capable of seeing tetrachromatic colors. They can see four distinct color ranges instead of three that most humans live with.

Amazing amazing amazing. No wonder thats the adjective Marvel comics used for Spider-Man.

If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive.  ~American Quaker Saying
