Sassacus vitis is a species of jumping spider. It is native to North America, with a range spanning from Canada to Panama.These spiders are normally no larger than five milimetres, with females being much larger than males and duller in color.[1] Because of their small size, these spiders feed primarily on small insects and flies.[citation needed]
