How far Can a jumping spider jump?

That is sort of a trick question. Spiders do not engage in athletic contests, so they have no idea of trying to jump just to see how far they can go. Jumping spiders jump as far as they need to in order to reach their prey. They have rarely been observed to fail to catch prey because they jump but fail to reach that far. So they clearly have a good sense of their own limitations. They are likely to creep as near to their prey as they can get without being noticed. So there is probably a reserve margin of jumping capability that jumping spiders rarely use.

Just as sumo wrestlers are rarely broad jump champions, heavy-bodied jumping spiders do not jump for as many times their own body length as do light-bodied jumping spiders. A recent study of one small spider showed that it could jump 15 times its body length. The Zebra spider is about the same size, so it probably could jump around 3 inches too.

Do any kinds of ladybugs eat small spiders?

Yes almost all ladybugs eat small spiders.

I once had a ladybug and it killed a spider!!! (The spider was small).

Then once my friend squashed a spider so I caught a ladybug instead and kept it, and you know what? It ate the poor spider. I was actually deciding whether I should bury it but who knows? It ate the spider!

From that I started experimenting and if you kill a spider (any spider big or small) the ladybugs still eat them! I think it's because they know whether it is dead or not.

So if you put an alive spider inside it has to be small so the ladybug can eat it!
