I've found this little guy yesterday on a trip

I don't know its species, but it belongs to the salticidae family

EDIT: according to iNat, it belongs to the Lyssomanes genus!!

Jumping spiders are very interesting little creatures, their eyesight is amazing !!! They can even move their retina to focus on different spots

You can see it happening in better quality here, its another species but its pretty much the same mechanism

And here are some other pictures of the guy

With the Phidippus jumping spiders behind us, we now move on to new critters! Rather than continuing with the Salticinae (Which Phidippus were a part of), I’ve chosen to jump up for a moment and explore the lesser-known branches of jumping spiders. Starting with...

The Lyssomanes!

Also known as the “Translucent Green Jumpers”, these incredibly alien creatures have an unmistakable look to them! That soft green, translucent chitin contrasts beautifully with the white and orange head markings, as well!

Lyssomanes sp. Essa aranha do gênero Lyssomanes é muito bonita, e difícil de fotografar, pois os olhos têm a mesma coloração do corpo, o que dificulta na hora de fazer o foco.
