Jumping spiders are delicate and too small to bite you. They are very curious and have excellent vision. Their two biggest eyes will follow you if you come near (there are 8 eyes total). Notice how the jumping spider below is the same color as the center of the flower. He is hiding there waiting for a bug to eat.
A particularly beautiful jumping spider is found in Australia. See pictures at: http://www.phenomenica.com/2009/11/jumping-peacock-spider.html
