The greenhouse jumping spider: Curious Hasarius adansoni
The Hasarius adansoni, also known as the greenhouse jumping spider, not only fascinates with its manoeuvrability and adaptability, but also with the striking appearance of the female and male. Both sexes present a striking splash of colour around the eye area, which not only makes them unmistakable, but also enhances their visual impact in the terrarium.
The females of this species reach a body length of around 10 mm and are therefore slightly larger than the males, which are 8 mm in size. These differences in size are typical of many jumping spider species and contribute to their interesting social behaviour.
A terrarium for the Hasarius adansoni should ideally measure 20x20x20 cm and be equipped with structures such as branches and leaves that offer numerous climbing and hiding places. This setup not only supports their natural behaviours such as climbing and hunting vertically, but also creates an appealing visual environment that emphasises the unique characteristics of these animals.
The Hasarius adansoni feeds mainly on small insects. Their ability to jump and hunt quickly makes feeding an exciting sight and at the same time encourages their natural instincts.
This jumping spider offers an excellent opportunity to observe fascinating behaviour in a compact format. Its agility, coupled with the colourful markings around its eyes, makes it an attractive and invigorating addition to any terrarium.
Get the Hasarius adansoni and experience how this lively and colourful jumping spider fills your terrarium with life and colour. Its dynamic nature and eye-catching appearance will certainly enrich any collection.
