Banded Phintella - Phintella Vittata - Animal India
A Banded Phintella (Phintella vittata), also known as the Electric Blue Jumper, is seen climbing on a human hand adorned with a shakha (white bangle made from a conch shell) and pola (red coral bangle) in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 19, 2024. This small, colorful jumping spider, resembling a tiny emerald jewel, is an agile daytime hunter that uses its keen vision to leap from surface to surface in search of prey. Male Banded Phintella spiders attract females during courtship by reflecting ultraviolet (UVB) light with specialized body surfaces. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
