Telamonia dimidiata | Two-striped Jumper

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.

Telamonia dimidiata	05.11.2023	Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia

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.
