Jumping Spider

Species principle: Courage

Aim, then leap.

Bravery is strongest when the leap has both aim and a lifeline.

Jumping Spiders use excellent forward vision to judge distance before pouncing, and many use silk draglines as safety anchors while moving or hunting.

Carry your part.

Leafcutter Ant colonies divide work across cutting leaves, carrying fragments, guarding trails, tending fungus gardens, caring for young, and maintaining the nest.
