Jumping Spider on Garden Bench.

This little zebra spider or jumping spider was very active in the afternoon sunshine today. Just would not stay still.
The reason for the narrow depth of field is because I forgot to change it from f/4.
Still, concentrates you view on those dinner plate eyes don't you think?
The spider spends most of it's time from what I noticed on the bricks of the outhouse, and when I got the extension tubes on to try and get really close, I think it got spooked and it disappeared into the tiniest space - the hole between a brick and inside the cement between two of them. This hole was practically unnoticeable just by looking at it - I only knew it was there upon close scrutiny because the jumper suddenly went from being visible to being invisible. Looking very closely revealed it had squished itself into this tiny space.

I have two at the moment, but there has been a good frost overnight - so I hope they found a warm hole...
