Quote:
"Peter Jäger, a taxonomist at the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, who identified the spider, has nicknamed it the flic-flac for the maneuver its leap resembles. * * * Although the newly discovered spider usually does its flips forward, it can do a back flip as well, Dr Jäger said, justifying its nickname, a gymnastics term for a back handspring."
