This attractive male jumping spider has some interesting hooks on his chelicerae. Take a closer look at this crop from the image above.
Hooked chelicerae
He really has a lot going on colorwise as well. I imagine those banded front legs might be used in some sort of courtship ritual. One has to wonder if and when those hooks come into play though.

Neat spider. I’ve been really enjoying all of your posts, even though I don’t comment on all of them. Keep posting!!
