The title should read, “Even arachnophobes can take bouncy-furry-cute-as-kitten-jumping spider pictures.” 🙂
I thought we decided they’re akin to “puppies”. 😛
Fantastic picture! Jumping spiders are Teh Bestest! So curious, so bold, so handsome. And quite friendly to boot.
This one was curious…the way they cock their head to get a better peek is hilarious. This one tried some evasive maneuvers first, though, and crawled to the underside of the leaf. My finger convinced it to come back to the surface and face the one-eyed monster above 🙂
That is what they look like? It is kind of cute in a strange way.. but are all the eyes looking in the same direction…Michelle
Yep, that’s a Jumper. They are cute, for spiders. The eyes don’t actually move at all, they’re fixed…the appearance of them all turned to look at me is a trick of the light. But it had definitely oriented its body so as to face me head-on for a better look.
Great macro! Definitely adorable.
Thanks! 🙂 Alright, alright, it’s cute. 😛
