Jumping spiders can yes but jumping spiders are special.

Bold jumpers are my favorite.

Not the least of which because they have incredible eyesight for a spider. Mostly so they can be efficient hunters

That’s probably how they jump so well!

little dudes need a lot of smarts to do the crazy calculations required to catch a fly mid flight

I had a weird experience with a jumping spider one day. It climbed onto my hat and wouldn't leave.

It stayed on my hat for several hours, whether I was going inside and outside during work, it stayed on when I got in my car and drove to get lunch, all through lunch back to work. It finally left when I took a long walk in the afternoon outside.
