Cardinal Jumping or Cardinal Jumper, as commonly called, is a part of the Salticidae family. They are indigenous to different parts of North America.
Size: They are overall small, with the females being slightly bigger than their male counterparts.
Color: These species have a red carapace with two black bands on their dorsal abdomen, alongside black, hairy legs.
Other Characteristic Features: They have an oval-shaped carapace and hairy legs.
A single sac may have about a hundred eggs that are small and round.
Though adequate information about the spiderlings remains unavailable, the juvenile mostly disperses from their family upon maturation.
Like most other spiders of their family, they, too, do not spin webs but use silken threads to capture prey.
The venom in their fangs is not harmful to humans.
