This spider was the subject of an online hoax where it was rumoured to be deadly due to its poisonous bite. Striped Jumping Spider is non venomous and is not dangerous to humans. It is often found on green foliage, easily recognisable by the striped abdomen. The above pictured is a female which has a lighter coloured body with light brown rings around the black eyes.
