Lookout position....

Paul Iddon

This tiny jumper was stood just an inch away from a tiny hole in the brickwork - that's where she lives. The gap between cement and brick - but here, she appeared to be on lookout duty. There was a rather imposing bluebottle six inches away from here in the general direction ahead of her - I'm pretty sure that with those big eyes she had a great view, and was keeping a watching brief in case her little nest was under threat...

Paul AFAIK male jumpers don't seem to have the swollen palps- they have those large Chelicera instead.
