Bagheera kiplingi is a species of jumping spider found in Central America, including Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. It is the type species of the genus Bagheera, which includes three other species, including B. prosper.[1] B. kiplingi is notable for its peculiar diet, which is mostly herbivorous.[2] No other known species of omnivorous spider has such a markedly herbivorous diet.[3][4]
