Wall Jumping Spider
Holoplatys semiplanata
The adult wall jumping spider is a flattened jumping spider often found on tree trunks, fences, buildings, and under loose bark. It hunts small insects by stalking them visually, then making a precise leap and bite instead of trapping prey in a web. Its low, broad body lets it hide in narrow gaps and press close to surfaces when threatened. This species is notable for its strongly flattened form, an adaptation for life on walls and bark crevices.
