what?

Salticidae spiders.

It seems this spider, for some reason, lost their hairs!!! did you shave it??? :) eheh
strange. here I don?t know even the genus! Just sure about family. It is easy. perhaps Menemerus sp. but very changed... :S without hairs... this is the first time I saw a thing like this one!

Maybe it's just natural wear and tear - or it has escaped from claws of some predator (it wasn't me ;) ).

during the life, spiders can lost their hairs. It is normal. But I never saw one spider in so advanced stage. Perhaps could be a "centenary" spider. :)
