Evarcha
Evarcha is a genus of jumping spiders (Salticidae) containing approximately 85-98 species distributed worldwide. Members are generally sturdy, often brownish in coloration, and not particularly colorful. The genus is best known for the unusual feeding ecology of E. culicivora, which feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by preying on blood-carrying mosquitoes. Most species occur in Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe, with some representatives in North America.
