ABOUT HASARIUS MUMBAI
- It is a newly discovered species of jumping spider.
- These are spiders who, instead of trapping their prey in a web, stalk and hunt them by pouncing.
- It has multiple eyes that give a 360-degree view of its surroundings and a bulbous body covered in hair.
- In India, there are only two other Hasarius species which have been documented, namely Adansoni, which is found across the country, including in urban areas, and kjellerupi, which was documented from the Nicobar Islands.
