Description
The pebble mimicking jumping spider is a medium sized species of jumping spider found on beaches around Adelaide, where they mimic sand grains and pebbles. They have been observed eating tiny black ants – about the size of a pinhead. They do well when fed pinheads.
This species grows to 7mm. They like to create a silk sack, and then roll in the sand, so do not be alarmed if you can’t see your jumping spider. They tend to be more active with first daylight and early mornings, and then again late afternoons to early evening. Please make sure you keep the sand dry at all times – read our care guide below.
This species comes in varied patterns (see photos) and requires beach white sand and a horizontal setup.
We recommend the bug box with “beach boy” kit.

Little “Mochi” is adorable! Hung out with us for a few minutes then quickly buried herself. She comes out every now and then to say hi, grab a cricket and then burrows back down.
