I looked it up once, but I forget what it was, that is max size, they don’t get any bigger than that one. They are all over my chicken coop. I’ll try to look up what type it is tomorrow
Jumping spiders are absolute badasses. Not only do they stalk their prey like a cat, they're also capable of repositioning for attack without maintaining line of sight, which requires fairly impressive mental faculties.
We get bold jumping spiders sometimes. They’re floofy and can get fairly chonky (found two nesting in curtains once and one couldve wrapped its legs around a quarter, which is big for southern cali), but they have the trippiest markings. Mostly sleek black floof with like electric blue markings. I’d post a pic but i dont wanna look up photos lol.
Jumping spiders don’t need to rely on webs. It was so neat the first time I saw one take down an aphid! I try to take care of my spider dudes, but that just made those guys a little extra-special.
Each of those organisms possesses 100,000 neurons or so. An ant has about 250,000. Humans, about 86 billion. If you counted one jumping spider per second, it'd take you ten straight sleepless days for the brain counting those spiders to meet the number of neurons as exist in the brain itself.
Idk about that. We know that brain to bodyweight ratio is a reliable indicator of overall intelligence. Dolphins, Corvids, Great Apes have some of the largest brains relative to their body mass. Ants, coincidentally, have the largest brains, relative to their bodymass, of any known creature. They're also one of the most successful species on earth, and their total mass is greater than all birds and mammals combined.
And we here with the 86B neurons are very likely to cause our own extinction prior to the extinction of ants and spiders. Maybe a few fewer neurons would have been ok too.
Nah. Every species goes extinct eventually, and usually has a hand in its own demise. Predators will hunt and kill prey animals regardless of their availability and resiliency, rather than shepherding resources. Every organism breeds to the maximum its environment allows. When a few bad seasons happen in a row, unless you're spread far and wide, that can be it for you and your kind. Humans are the only ones able to plan ahead, though, and properly adapt.
Nah. These are well-understood basic maxims of ecology that've been established for centuries now. All the way back to Darwin, a key observation is that the struggle for nature is more intra-specific than inter-specific, because every organism will reproduce to the limits of its environment's carrying capacity. That capacity fluctuates over time, and the organisms will always harvest available food to the limits of their ability to do so, meaning that they can and will drive prey species (1)
extinct. Viruses do this periodically; sweeping whole populations in a region and burning out. Fungi too. Every species has a lifespan determined by the diversity of environments it can exist in and prey it can feed upon; specialists have shorter shelf-lives than generalists, since the loss of their nutrient source means their own demise too. C'mon, mate. Do you really think humans are unique? (2)

I think the point of the jumping spiders is they don't develop nets?

They dab a little piece of web just before they jump to retract if they miss. It acts like a drag line.

The spider is part of the web and is a feature. Only one bug here and this cleaver feature handled the bug without a system crash.

I'd wager that the spider is much more intelligent than the ant, even with fewer neurons.
