Species | |
Eris is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). It is native to North and South America. As is typical for salticids, they are not defensive. While larger specimens could potentially bite, an envenomation would pose no danger to a human.
Name
The genus name is derived from Eris, the Greek goddess of discord (known as Discordia in Roman mythology).
