I've heard them called wolf or jumping spiders, though I'm not sure if that's correct! Often see them on logs of wood etc. - much to my distaste :S lol

Lol, mine chase them then spit out the half-chewed corpses. I don't mind at all, I hate spiders so it means I don't have to go anywhere near them.
