Jumping spiders (Salticidae) <--Spiderman species

Jumping spiders are active hunters. They stalk and pounce on their prey rather than use silk to snare it. They are capable of jumping short (.5 inch) distances, possess large eyes, and the most common species are brightly colored. As with almost all spiders, jumping spiders use silk to lay down a trail, cover its eggs, and construct temporary shelters.

Spider Bites
Most spiders are not aggressive and bite only when trapped against the skin. If a bite is suspected or is known to have occurred, follow these first aid steps recommended by the American Red Cross:
Treat the site of the bite with an antiseptic to prevent infection.
Apply ice to the site of the bite to reduce pain and swelling.
If a black widow or brown recluse spider is suspected, or if serious symptoms develop such as increasing pain or swelling, consult a physician.
If at all possible, bring the spider to the physician’s office. Effective antivenins are available for black widows, but they can only be used if the spider that inflicted the bite is positively identified.
It should be stressed that spider bites are difficult to diagnose correctly as there are many other medical conditions that mimic the same symptoms. Spider bites, particularly those of “brown recluse spiders,” are greatly overdiagnosed in Colorado.
