Phidippus princeps grooming 01:52

This female jumping spider (Phidippus princeps) from Greenville County, South Carolina, USA, was filmed as it groomed after feeding on an insect. Grooming behavior included use of pedipalps as an eye brush for the large front eyes, and cleaning of the iridescent chelicerae. This close-up portrays some of the unique character of these fascinating animals.

  • Phidippus princeps feeding on male culicid 11:38 Phidippus princeps feeding on male culicid

    The four clips shown here (in sequence) depict an adult female jumping spider (Phidippus princeps, Araneae, Salticidae) from Greenville County, South Carolina, USA, feeding on a male mosquito (Diptera, Culicidae). Most of the complete sequence of feeding is shown. Soft-bodied prey like this are thoroughly macerated with the chelicerae. Note the use of the two front pairs of legs (legs I and II) to manipulate the prey during feeding. [I highly recommend the AVI codec used to process this video (Microsoft MPEG 4 Video CODEC V3)]
