 When hunting most other salticids in Queensland , P. fimbriata exaggerates the slowness and " choppiness " of its normal gait ( sometimes called " robotlike " : 6 ) and holds its palps retracted beside its fangs , as it also does in the cryptic rest pose . If the salticid prey faces P. fimbriata , P. fimbriata freezes until the prey turns away . : 750 This " cryptic stalking " appears unique to Queensland , where most other jumping spiders fail to recognize a disguised stalking P. fimbriata as a predator , or even as an animal at all . : 447 P. fimbriata from Queensland uses cryptic stalking against both salticids native to Queensland and against imported salticids . : 445 Other salticids often defend themselves when stalked by other species of Portia or by P. fimbriata outside Queensland , and the Queensland P. fimbriata ′ s cryptic stalking may be a regional adaptation to the abundant but dangerous salticid prey , especially <unk> queenslandicus , in the local rainforest . : 750 – 751 P. fimbriata uses cryptic stalking even against some oddly @-@ shaped salticids such as the flattened <unk> and the elongated , mantis @-@ like <unk> longicauda . : 455 All of P. fimbriata ′ s salticid prey have a pair of large , forward @-@ facing principal eyes , a feature that arachnologists also use to distinguish salticids from all other spiders . : 455 – 456
