Morning Starters: Autumn 2 - A Bug's Life
Did You Know?
How far do you think you can jump? Jumping spiders can leap many times their body length! With big eyes and powerful back legs, they pounce on insects instead of making webs. These tiny hunters are clever, quick and full of surprises. Before they jump, they attach a silk safety line to the surface, so if they miss their target, they can climb back up and try again.
