[1] Like all other jumping spiders, M. intermedia possesses eyes of differing sizes in anterior, lateral, and posterior positions.

[1] This species can be found in forests and similar to Maevia inclemens, can inhabit man-made structures.

[1] Maevia intermedia are members of the subphyla Chelicerata is known for their physiological differences that are a major distinction from other arthropods.

[4] The prosoma is the anterior segment that contains eight walking legs and the feeding appendages of spiders called "chelicerae" which can stab at prey, injecting them with venom.

[4] and mating rituals via signaling[5] Their bodies are also lightly covered in small hairs and spines along their carapace.

[1] M. intermedia is of the family Salticidae which are characterized by their "principal eyes" which are forward-facing visual systems that allow for great spatial acuity in vision.

[3] Their eyes are similar to a telescope and have complex layering that has given Salticids higher spatial acuity than other spiders.

This can be potentially dangerous as it gives males a conspicuousness that can attract predators,[7] further exacerbated by the patterning and light coloration of M.

As seen with the M. inclement gray morph, the male will display around 3 cm from the female by moving closer to a surface and sliding in an oscillatory motion while prone.

[8] The next phase entails female recognition and a showing of receptivity whether that be laying motionless or a more likely approaching of the male as seen in M.

[6] Male spiders tend to face potential risk when mating not just from external predators but from the cannibalistic female they attempt to court.

The palps of males are larger in this species with cymbium rotated in a fashion that makes it as wide as it is long.

The first instar form will develop during this time with the first ecdysis occurring at a similar period to which the egg membrane is shed.

[5] Hunting behavior in the spider family Salticidae is a process facilitated by their complex visual system.

[11] Salticidae spiders do not have hinge joints and the torque required for their jump is generated almost entirely by the straightening of their fourth pair of legs.
