Jumping spiders have insanely impressive vision, especially considering how small their eyes are! But what exactly do they see?
In this video, I cover:
- The weird anatomy of jumping spider eyes, including two mini-telescopes that they can move around inside of their heads
- What colors and resolution jumping spiders see
- How their vision compares to other animals, including humans!
- What jumping spiders have in common with cats
This is my 14th video in a series about how different animals see the world. Check out my previous videos explaining how octopuses (youtube.com/watch?v=271hvS1E8mI), eagles (youtube.com/watch?v=XhZnGTFcbpw), cats (youtube.com/watch?v=Sck-UP_SFFI), dogs (youtube.com/watch?v=vfH9kT0Pazw), flies (youtube.com/watch?v=5Dv8AwTNOsM), mantis shrimp (youtube.com/watch?v=osDE9q1IpR0), and other animals see the world.
