The zebra spider (Salticus scenicus) is a common jumping spider of the Northern Hemisphere.Their common name refers to their vivid black-and-white colouration, [1] whilst their scientific name derives from Salticus from the Latin for “jump”, and the Greek scenicus, translating to “theatrical” or “of a decorative place,” in reference to the flashy, zebra-like coloration of the species.
