Description

This species of jumping spider is found under the bark of eucalyptus trees in southern Australia.

They are very active and inquisitive, and hardy in captivity. Despite their intimidating size, these are a timid species and can be handled safely if respect is given, like handling all spiders.

Females and males are basically identical with males being slightly shaggier and more grey in colouration.

Care Tips:

This jumper should be fed baby/x-small crickets – no bigger than the spider’s body size. At the moment they are feeding on x-small crickets.

Enclosure should have bark hide available as this is their favourite hang-out place.  We recommend the The Bug Box or Little Bug Box
