Photo Friday: a “fashionable urban spider”*
Posted by on June 29, 2012
*credit for the title must go to Chris Buddle, who came up with the best possible description of this spider – so good I was unable to come up with anything else on my own.
This lovely lady caught my eye as she cruised over the beige landscape of my house’s siding:
Had she not been so utterly fashionable, what with her cheeky zebra-stripes, I might never have spotted her…
but the pattern was irresistible, and I just had to get some glamour shots before releasing her.
(Zebra Jumping Spider, Salticus scenicus)
