Jumping Spider (Heliophanus kochii)

Jumping Spider (Heliophanus kochii) is often called a "sun jumping spider" due to its genus name (helios for sun, phanos for bright), it is known for its distinctive metallic sheen that glitters in sunlight. Primarily found across Southern Europe and North Africa, the species has been observed expanding its range northward, likely due to climate change.
