common spider with prey

            The bark marpissa (Marpissa muscosa) is a common spider in the Netherlands, belonging to the jumping spiders that can regularly be found indoors. The male grows to 6 to 8 mm, while the female reaches 8 to 13 mm. She prefers to stay on sunny vertical surfaces such as trees or poles, provided there is a hole nearby where she can quickly crawl away in case of danger. The prey is stalked and then pounced on. Like all jumping spiders, the bark marpissa has extremely well-developed eyesight. Of the eight spider eyes, two, the anterior middle eyes, are much larger than the others. The posterior side eyes are set far back, they are visible on the image on the cephalothorax between the implants of legs I and II. The bark marpissa is the type species of the genus Marpissa.
