Copper sun jumper

The body is black with a shiny metallic sheen and scattered white hairs, including a pale line behind the eyes and white spots around the edge of the abdomen. Legs are light yellow with black stripes running their length, though a few individuals have uniformly dark legs.

It hunts on sunlit vegetation in damp meadows, forest edges and even coastal shingle, chasing down small insects instead of building a web. Most adults are seen in late spring and early summer, sheltering in a silk cell under a stone or in leaf litter overnight.
