What a great shot. This is a beady-eyed, hairy little guy, but he’s got personality! The fact that the foliage is out of focus helps the viewer to realize just how tiny he is–as if we’re looking through a microscope. Very nice job!

Wonderful shot. I’ve always seen these darting around everywhere and now I know what they look like close up. Excellent.

I tried to get a shot of one of these guys once and he jumped right onto my lens! Nice job!

Is that an anmimal with four eyes or an anmimal with two eyes and a big nose ?

I think spiders are amazing animals, they have a minimum of four eyes, the pholcus in my bathroom play their web lines like music. Thanks for the picture of this much maligned little fellow.

They are actually very sophisticated hunting-masters, such jumping-spiders, despite their tinyness.

Nice shot! I would almost even want to pat his head, because he looks very furry…
