Telamonia dimidiata | Two-striped Jumper

avatar

When walking among the bushes, my eyes are always on the leaves to see if there are any jumping spiders there. My passion for catching jumping spiders has been going on for a long time. In the past, I was afraid of them. At that time, I thought they were animals that liked to bite. That's right, they like to bite their prey. But when one time a jumping spider jumped onto my wrist, I watched as it just crawled around without hurting me in the slightest. At that time, I knew that jumping spiders were friendly animals. I don't know how many species of jumping spiders I encountered; there are definitely so many that I can't remember how many there are.

This one is Telamonia dimidiata, commonly known as the two-striped jumper.

It is bright white, with two black lines combined with orange on the abdomen. I'm sure it's a female because males tend to be darker and smaller than females.

Foliage is the home of jumping spiders; they do not build large webs like orb-weaving spiders. Just a small coil of silk net as protection when it gets rained on, and it also functions to protect their eggs.

Interesting spider @akukamaruzzaman
I see you've joined the Nature Observer community.

Why don't you take the next step and register at https://www.inaturalist.org and share your verified, selected, interesting observations there?

I myself have added to my profile on iNaturalist: "I also post my sightings on https://ecency.com/@birdwatcher, which helps fund my hobby."

I believe this will help our Hive Nature observer community grow.

Thanks for your advice; I appreciate it. Actually, I have an iNaturalist account, but wouldn't it be problematic if the images were posted there first and then on Hive? I'm worried that it will be considered a dumping post. I don't want @hivewatchers to blow the warning whistle on this :D

But if it's fine, yes, I will :)

@hivewatchers needs that you post your hive account on iNaturalist.
Myself I had to do it not to be downvoted.

Hello.
We recommend creating unique content for Hive so if you want to crosspost your photos into Hive, It would be great if you created a unique story attached to these photos.
Thanks

Thanks for your kind response. Actually, it's not completely a cross-post. iNaturalist is only a supporting platform for nature observers to facilitate scientific identification or grouping of natural objects that we observe before we post them on Hive. Of course, for details and stories, we do it on Hive with our own original images and the link to scientific sources from INaturalist. Yeah, just like Wikipedia or other sources.
