| Redbacked Jumping Spider |
The spider looked like a miniature version of a tarantula, but its iridescent teal colored chelicerae (mouth parts) and velvety red abdomen were very beautiful.
The bite of these spiders is reported to be painful, but not poisonous to humans. Fortunately for us, it was pretty shy and kept trying to hide from us and showed no inclination to try to jump at us.
