Six-spotted Jumping Spider

Bavia sexpunctata is a relatively large jumping spider compared to other members of the Baviini tribe. Females have a body length of 8.60–9.30 mm, while males are slightly smaller at 8.55 mm. The carapace length ranges from 3.64 to 4.30 mm in females and 3.64 mm in males. The carapace is characteristically hexagonal in shape and relatively broad, being widest at or just behind the posterior lateral eyes, which is typical of the genus Bavia. The female has a dark brown carapace with black surroundings around the eyes. The first pair of legs is dark brown except for light brown tarsi, while the remaining legs are light brown. The abdomen is light brown with numerous small dark brown spots and three pairs of larger spots. Males have similar coloration but with slight differences. The carapace is dark brown with black eye surroundings, and the abdomen is light brown mottled with dark brown and featuring three pairs of pale brown spots.
