This experiment conducted at the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Lodz Poland attempted to understand the relationship between the shade and color of the substrate and it’s effects on the predatory behavior of Yllenus arenarius a cryptically colored jumping spider native to the region.

They used both subadult and adult male and female spiders which are known to have
