One I never got around to originally.

This jumping spider was stood on a knitted cardigan.

I didn't use it cos of the light issues... these beasties are probably less than ½ centimetre long maybe...

"Salticus scenicus" is the latin name. I think most of us would also know it as the "Zebra" spider.

Opinions as always appreciated.

    Cool shot Paul clap.gif they always look like they are begging.
    The Jumping Spiders I see around my place are very very tiny too,
    almost impossible to get a shot of them because they are move so fast.

    Love the pattern of the wool, looks like steel mesh thumb.gif ... Skippy :D
