male phaeacius malayensis !! found this little guy on a tree right outside school. look at how chill he is 馃槉馃暦
these salticids are incredibly unique compared to most jumpers as they're less of active hunters and more ambush predators. despite this, they have one of the best eyesight among all jumpers -- in broad daylight, they have better vision than cats and can see up to 10 times the level of detail as dragonflies can!
won't be bringing this little guy back tho, apparently their preferred prey is other jumping spiders and i wouldn't have the heart to watch that .......
