Hello!
I found this little guy in the middle of a road near a crowded beach off the coast of Portugal and. I think I should have just moved it to the dunes but at the time I thought it just got there by accident so I brought it home with me.
Torso + head lenght is about 1.5cms and the legs are maybe 1cm long so it looks like a jumping spider.
The thing is I tried feeding it a moth and a couple of flies but it doesn't seem to be interested in them. It does drink water though. I rolled a small cotton ball and drench it with water often and I can see it drinking.
Could you help me identify this spider?
Also, any idea why she doesn't eat fresh bugs?
Thanks in advance
Edit: now that I think about it i'm not entirely sure it is a jumping spider because it's not half as fast or agile as other jumping spiders i've seen.
