Ground Species - _TNY_0717
Some species of jumping spiders are climbers.They like rocks and vertical spaces - which also makes the side of your house a nice place to hang out.
The V-fronted jumper (Aelurillus v-insignitus) - like this male from Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park - are more about the ground though. They bounce around there in jumps so quick it looks like they are teleporting, seemingly not bothered at all by all the ants crawling around in the same space.
No points for guessing where this species has gotten its name though.
