Mark Johnston > Jumping spiders like this are hunters, and are equipped with eyes around the circumference of their head that give them excellent all-around vision. The eyes in the front of the head are remarkably large compared to the size of this tiny spider. Their jumping ability is also spectacular - about 60 body lengths in a single jump [imagine if you could jump 300 feet!].
