Needs a clear up
[edit]Cleared up a minor point about this species feeding habits. There are a few other bits that need looking at. For example "The spider has four eyes (2 small ones on the sides, 2 large ones in the middle),[2] and is only the second known species to have such vision" I doubt there are only two species with this eye configuration, isnt it a common feature of most of not ALL jumping spiders? (If anyone would like to correct me feel free, Im just an amatuer arthropod poker :)). In any case, the linked reference doesnt make that claim.

- The user who created the page is not that skilled in English. I have (partly) corrected most of his articles, but left stuff that needs further investigation. Feel free to scrap the part you mentioned, because I dont really trust his writing that much I'm afraid. Ruigeroeland (talk) 14:10, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
- Fair play like, I'll wire into this a bit more once I get home from the dreaded work. Although since im a north eastern Scot I shan't be maiking any judgments on other peoples use of English, yeh ken fit like min? ;) The Taste of Monkeys (talk) 15:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
- Haha.. I have no idea what that means. I am Dutch, so my English is certainly not perfect. I was meaning to say however, that I think he or she tries to translate articles from other wikipedia's (probably Russian) and possibly uses translation software, but if ones understanding of the language isn't that great, this not only leads to bad grammar, but may also lead to incorrect statements.

- Yeah, "jump" on it. Since its the article on a jumping spider, your "jump" will be welcome here.:) About the eye configuration: I ment to say that its the second species of its kind to have such eye circulation, not that only two species have it! Another thing or two to point out (to Ruigeroeland): Firstly, I am not skillful in English, as you correctly pointed out, but that doesn't make me a bad writer. I could have missunderstood the reference. Secondly, I didn't used any of the software to write this, and majority of other articles. True, some articles I translated from Russian, but thats only 81 articles (51%) out of 200. By the way, love your user name!:) We have a user here named SuperHamster, and Guinea pig warrior, now, is Taste of Monkeys... Do we we have a whole zoo here! I see a whole herd of Elephants as well, here!:) I fixed the article, feel free to trust me now!--Mishae (talk) 20:13, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
