	spider
		It is Portia, a member of the Salticidae or jumping spider family, a creature that for 10 years has been the focus of research by R. Stimson Wilcox, a Binghamton biology professor, and his collaborator, New Zealand biologist Robert Jackson.
		Portia is known to use its legs, palps, body movements or various combinations to make vibrations mimicking everything from a trapped insect to an interested suitor on the web of its intended victim.
		Portia, in fact, is such a formidable predator that, in a sort of "evolutionary arms race," some prey spiders have actually "learned" through natural selection to recognize its walk on their web, Wilcox said.

		Portia hunts other spiders, oftentime spiders several times larger than itself, and it does this using an evolutionary trick completely unheard of in the entire insect world: strategy.
		I watched footage of a Portia sitting at the edge of the web of a spider literally a hundred times its size, waiting patiently until it was distracted by a moth supper so that it could leap in and snatch the giant bastard’s tiny mate literally out from under its nose.
		Portia are tremendously successful spiders and they are quite literally on the evolutionary fast track.

		Jumping spiders of the Genus Portia are aggressive mimics which prey primarily on other species of spiders, especially web-building spiders.
		The basic tactics Portia exhibits are invasion of a web and signaling deceitfully on it as if Portia were struggling insect prey, to attract the resident spider closer, wherepon Portia kills and eats the resident.
		The flexible learning, planning ahead, and persistent maintenance of cognitive map abilities of Portiaplace it among the foremost of invertebrate groups in the cognitive arena.
