Jumping spiders are known for their curiosity. If approached by a
human hand, instead of scuttling away to safety as most spiders do, the
jumping spider will usually leap and turn to face the hand. Further
approach may result in the spider jumping backwards while still eyeing

ground. It might even jump on the hand.
