Giant Bark Jumping Spider
Servaea incana
Adults live on tree trunks, fences, and loose bark, especially in dry woodland and garden habitats. They are active visual hunters that stalk flies, moths, and other small arthropods before leaping onto prey. Instead of building a prey-catching web, they use silk mostly for retreats, egg sacs, and safety lines while jumping. A notable trait is their sharp vision, which supports careful stalking and sudden, accurate pounces.
