Salticidae Indopadilla

Indopadilla vimedaba Maddison, 2020

Cappuccino Scorpion Jumper

Both sexes resemble the female of Indopadilla sp. B in abdominal pattern. Some coffee drinkers may liken the pattern to the latte art decoration on cappuccino. The female may be distinguished from that of Indopadilla sp. B by its bolder abdominal motif. There are slight differences between the sexes in this species, as shown in the two photographs below.
