Hello hive lovers friend!
Today I found a predator that is cute but deadly to other small insects. He is a jumping spider or better known as the Salticidae.

It is easy to recognize jumping spiders because they have four eye arrangements with one pair typically being the anterior median eye with very clear three-dimensional vision.

Most of these spider species never make a web to catch their prey, usually these spiders make a circular motion and then jump on the prey.
