Emerald Jumping Spiders

Emerald jumping spiders (Paraphidippus aurantius) are flashy, and they flaunt it — the iridescent scales on their bodies make them especially shiny, which shows as they forage on low shrubs in sunny areas. Also known as golden jumping spiders, the arachnids are less than a half-inch long and can be found throughout the United States and Central America.
