Hyllus diardi is a large, charismatic jumping spider native to Southeast Asia, known for its bold appearance and powerful leaps.
 
Often dubbed the “heavy jumper,” this species sports a robust, muscular build and striking metallic hues of green, blue, or purple, especially in males. Females are slightly larger and display ornate abdominal patterns, while both sexes boast excellent vision thanks to their prominent anterior eyes. Found in tropical forests across countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, H. diardi is a diurnal predator that uses its keen eyesight and agility to stalk and pounce on prey
