Talavera aequipes is a small jumping spider that is found in Eurasia. It is very hard to distinguish from several very similar species but is the most frequent of these spiders in Central Europe. It is small enough to reside comfortably in snail shells of down to 5 mm length during winter where they also lay their eggs. Sometimes it shares a larger shell with Pellenes tripunctatus where T. aequipes lives deep inside and P. tripunctatus is found in the larger opening.
