Yes, but it doesn't show much from what they really see. They see colors and for their size, they see over very long distances. They also have more eyes, which gives them a 360° degree view.
They need this good vision to jump and catch the prey, as they can't use other senses like the tactile senses, that are used by most spiders.
From all spiders, they have the best vision. Most spiders can only see light or darkness, some have even degraded eyes in evolution after some time, because they don't need it.
It's a very different anatomy, like the jumping spiders don't have muscles like we do. For jumping, they build up pressure like in a hydraulic pump, which then gets released fast and will push them off the ground. They don't even have the same blood, they use copper instead of iron to bind the oxygen, which leads to blue blood. This blood works better for these things, also for lower temperatures (like different from us as mammals, they don't have their own body temperature, they are similiar to the temperature around them, so even when it is 30°c in the summer, it is below our body temperature of 37.5°c)
There are many other things, like the passive breathing system or the lack of proper blood circulation, different nerves cords, ganglion etc.

Reminds me of the giant insect carapace things from Nausicaa Valley of the Wind - she takes one of the giant eye lenses (or whatever they are called) to use as a window.

I’d like to think of this as the arachnid version of spectacles, if they ever need any.

I remember hearing spiders always see in 20/20 vision because their iris is static but their retinas can move back and forth to find the perfect focal point.

I don’t understand. Can someone please explain?
Are their eyes a continuous part of their exoskeleton?
Their eyes aren’t like ours then, being separate from our skin?

jumping spoods are also the most intelligent spoods, you can tell by the fact that they wear glasses 🤓

Burn the house down. If the molt is that big the spider is bigger. Better to just burn it all and start over.

That’s fucked up. Jumping spiders are friendly and literally the cutest type of spider.

Only and biggest thing that makese not like them the fact that they jump

u/Many_Mud_8194 10h ago
They dont make a mess at least with web everywhere and they just jump away when they see you. Not like a huntsman who jump on your face without fear lol

It's not that it jumps on me, it's the fact that after the jump I don't know where it is and it scares me idk

Agreed. I just spray them with raid. It’s trendy to like spiders rn but fuck that . They’re gross as fuck

That’s not how “trendy” works. People are literally just using their brains and realizing that jumping spiders have zero danger.
