Found this centimeter long Jumping Spider in my bedroom window the other day.

As luck would have it, there was a Green Bottle Fly in the window as well.
(he might have been a youngster, as you can see his far wing doesn't look quite unfurled?)
3.
The Jumper spotted the Fly and crept up on him like a cat. The Jumper laid himself down as flat as he could get to the surface he was crawling on while he approached the Fly.
Then BAM! :O

This one is a two shot stack. (one with the Fly in focus, one with the Jumper in focus)

All photos were shot with the Sigma 150 straight on the 1DMark2N, except for this last one, I threw three tubes on.

There is a fine line between a hobby and mental illness!
