Photo of Epeu

They have beautiful names as

Abracadabrella, Asianellus, Corambis, Eolinus, Lamottella, Mopsus mormon, Myrmarachne, Platycryptus, Udvardya, Yepoella, Zenodorus

… and they are charming animals that look up and watch you. Their excellent vision allows them to hunt as much as cats do.

Here is a complete taxonomic catalogue of them by Jerzy Proszynski (Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa).
