Just Like A School Picture

Here's a real nice closeup of Jack the Jumping spider. Let me know if you want a wallet size print or an 8"x10" ! :0)

The iridescent-teal mouth pieces are very cool! I found online that jumping spiders only bite when provoked... Shoving a camera in the spider's face isn't provoking is it?

Since I caught this spider in the house using a glass -I enjoyed this jumping spider information- (Quoted directly from Wikipedia:)

"...at the end of each leg they have hundreds of tiny hairs, which each then split into hundreds more tiny hairs, each tipped with an "end foot". These thousands of tiny feet allow them to climb up and across virtually any terrain. They can even climb up glass by gripping onto the tiny imperfections, usually an impossible task for any spider Jumping spiders are known for their curiosity. If approached by a human hand, instead of scuttling away to safety as most spiders do, the jumping spider will usually leap and turn to face the hand. Further approach may result in the spider jumping backwards while still eyeing the hand. The tiny creature will even raise its forelimbs and "hold its ground". Because of this contrast to other arachnids, the jumping spider is regarded as inquisitive as it is seemingly interested in whatever approaches it"

That is so amazingly cool! To think this is just one of the many creatures that silently stomps through your garden!
