Salticides, also known as jumping spiders, live virtually any where outside. They will come indoors looking for food, but usually prefer the outdoors.
Rather than build webs to trap food, Salties go hunting and jump on anything that moves.
While hunting, a Saltie will jump onto people or animals if they are in range. After a quick search the tiny spider will usually depart by jumping onto a nearby object.

Salticides, like most spiders, have multiple eyes. They can see forward, left, right and up all at the same time.
One of the unique features of Salticides is the size of their two middle eyes that are extremely large. They are most likely the reason why Salties can jump so accurately.
This photo clearly shows the four front eyes, and no, the spider is not wearing dark glasses :-)
