Jumping spiders (SALTICIDAE) have good vision for hunting and navigating. They typically have eight eyes arranged in three or four rows. The front, and most distinctive row is enlarged and forward facing. Their eyesight is much better than that of other spiders and most, if not all, insects. Some remain still and scan the image repeatedly before following the strategy that offers itself.
