Study on Jumping Spiders (Aranae: Araneomorphae: Salticidae) Diversity in Shraddha Public School Campus Gariaband, Chhattisgarh, India

The present research paper represents the diversity of jumping spiders in Shraddha Public School Campus, Gariaband. In this study, for continuing two months (October 2025- November 2024), the spiders found in the campus were recorded using direct visual method. All the collected specimens were identified using standard spider taxonomy keys. The identification revealed that 15 species of jumping spiders were recorded from the campus belonging to 12 genus. This study provides fundamental knowledge about 15 species of jumping spiders falling under the same group family Salticidae found in the campus which will help in understanding the diversity of jumping spiders found in Chhattisgarh.
