Tiny. Curious. Adorable.
Welcome to the fun side of EJS. Learn about jumping spiders, meet our crew, and fall in love with the coolest little creatures on eight legs.
Meet Regina
Our juvenile female jumping spider and current star of the show.
Regina
Regina is a juvenile female jumping spider with big eyes and even bigger personality. Curious, bold, and loves exploring. Follow her journey on our socials as she grows!
More spiders coming soon. Still figuring out sexes and names for the rest of the crew.
Fun Facts
They Have 8 Eyes
Two large front-facing eyes give them incredible depth perception. They can see in almost 360 degrees.
They Jump 50x Their Body Length
Like a human jumping a football field. They use hydraulic pressure in their legs, not muscles.
Incredibly Smart
They can plan routes, solve problems, and even recognize their owners. Their brain-to-body ratio is huge.
Males Dance to Impress
Elaborate dances with leg waves and vibrations to attract females. Basically a tiny talent show.
They See in Color
Unlike most spiders, they see a full range of colors including ultraviolet light humans cannot see.
Tiny Silk Tents
No webs to catch prey. Instead they build small silk shelters called sacs to sleep in at night.
