These small and interesting species of Arachnids are very distinctive, thanks to their frontal eyes position. Some are particularly attractive. Their bodies are built of two segments. Cephalothorax is the fusion of spider's head and thorax, and its abdomen is behind it. All four pairs of legs are attached to cephalothorax. All four pairs of eyes are also spaced on the dorsal surface of the frontal body region.

They live for about one year mostly, although there are some species that live longer. In colder climates, their lifespan is prolonged, thanks to the period of hibernation. Mostly active during the day, at night they usually hide in their small chambers made of silk, usually attached to some plant or placed under rocks.

During their growing period, they have to shed their skin for a few times. This process is called molting. During that time, they have to hide in their silk chambers as well. Most species molt five to six times before they become adults. Small, jumping and funny, these attractive small creatures make really interesting pets. They are friendly and special beings, and keep your homes free of insects.
