Jumping Spider

Post by S. Alden »

This little guy has to be the cutest spider ever. I watched him for a long time and he was so entertaining. The green "perch" is one of those flower fences so you can see the size of this guy. He is approximately 3-5mm (1/4") and he would "play" hide and seek and peek at me from different areas of the wire.

Cool shot, the little feller is looking as if he were the Pharao himself.

Great character shot.

Wasn't there a mythological Greek monster with 1000 eyes? That's what this guy makes me think of, though he is far short of 1000!

Very cute shot, nice technicals and background.
