For a jumping spider, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/spiderswebhq.com\/phidippus-audax\/\"><strong>phidippus audax<\/strong><\/a>, there are four pairs of eyes, eight eyes in total, with each pair of eyes decreasing in size and wrapping further around the spider&#8217;s head to allow periphery views. They are positioned in three rows. It is this setup that allows spiders to have the best vision.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The first set of eyes, located right at the front of the spider&#8217;s head, are the largest. It is this feature that adds to how cute jumping spiders can be; some people will note that the first pair of eyes are almost puppy-like. Not only so they make this species of spider look cute and friendly, but the larger set of eyes is much like our own, as humans. They have high resolution and are stereoscopic, meaning they can detect distances.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The three other pairs of eyes are considered &#8220;secondary eyes&#8221;. They are much smaller.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Jumping spiders aren&#8217;t the only species of spider to have four sets of eyes; this is a common trait for spiders that need to hunt, instead of using webs to catch their prey. It allows them excellent vision to sneak up and capture their prey. The retinas within their tiny eyes are able to rotate, and this allows them to track the movement of their prey; such as ants, flies, and other insects around them. It also helps them stay aware of any predators approaching, such as bigger spiders or animals.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>But you might not be aware that different families of spiders have different eye patterns. You can see below the difference between the eye pattern of jumping spiders and that of wolf spiders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
