Iridescent Jumping Spider
Chrysilla volupe
The iridescent jumping spider inhabits vegetation and leaf litter in South and Southeast Asian habitats. It actively stalks small insects and other arthropods, relying on sharp vision and rapid, accurate jumps rather than a capture web. Silk is used for draglines, shelters, and egg sacs. Its jewel-like body sheen makes this tiny hunter especially distinctive among jumping spiders.
