Evarcha jucunda is a species of jumping spider.
It occurs naturally in the Mediterranean region, but was introduced to Belgium.[1] It is also sometimes found in German greenhouses. Typically, it shows a large white or yellowish band surrounding the head region and a smaller one at the anterior end of abdomen. Females usually present two white spots at the abdomen and males are usually darker with a more uniform colour.
Name
The species name is derived from Latin jucundus "pleasant".
