 The legs of both sexes are dark brown, with light markings in the femora (the sections of the legs nearest the body).All species of the genus "Portia" have elastic abdomens, so that those of both sexes can become almost spherical when well fed, and females' can stretch as much when producing eggs.Although other spiders can also jump, salticids including "Portia fimbriata" have significantly better vision than other spiders, and their main eyes are more acute in daylight than a cat's and 10 times more acute than a dragonfly's.
