Jumping Jack Spider

Paul Iddon

The evening sun was very strong and I actually found it hard to get the image right on this one, but managed to salvage it I think.

This is a little jumping spider, about 2mm or 3mm long at most, and it kept running around this twig we have the pea plants tied up to. Impossible for the most part for me to get any focus locked on it's eyes, but it did for a couple of seconds, pause at the very tip of the twig and I managed to get this image. Used 3 tubes on the Sigma - cropped by about 5% for compositional purposes.


C&C as always.

Good one Paul - Know how difficult these are when actively hunting.

Thanks Brian. T'was a struggle - when they "jump" it is weird how they seem to disappear!
