Journal Article
Vertebrate-eating jumping spiders
2022
Overview
In this paper, vertebrate predalion by jumping spiders (Salticidae) was revisited, taking into account incidents of this kind recently published in the scientific literature or on the internet. Our study revealed that vertebrate predation by salticids is more widespread than previously thought, geographically and laxonomically. Roughly ninety percent of all reported cases refer to predation on anurans (Hylidae and Ranixalidac) and lizards (Dactyloidae and Gckkonidae) by salticids from the subfamily Salticinac (Hyllus spp.. Phidippus spp.. and an unidentified species presumably related to Hasarius Simon. 1871). In the remaining cases, salticids from the subfamily Salticinac Paraphidippus cf. aurantius (Lucas. 1833) and Phidippus audax (Hcntz. 1845)) were observed attacking bird hatchlings (families Paridac and Trochilidae). weighing =4 6 times more than the spiders. In two instances, the spiders were observed biting the hatchlings, but only in one single case, a salticid was seen feeding on a hatchling.
