Salticus scenicus

Paul Iddon

Tiny little jumping spider - Salticus scenicus - the first I have spotted in my garden this year.

70D, Venus 60mm 2:1 macro lens, 1/250sec, f/8, ISO 100.

Wow! Unique creature! Eyes are nothing I have scene before. Reminds me of 'Droopy Dog'.
2nd last is the best for me!
Cheers!

Paul,

I think this is the same species as I saw, for the first time ever, in my garden last year. It was very active and, trying on several days, I never got even a sharp image.

Your set is excellent.

Thank you gents

Harold - the can be testing - their ability to seemingly "jump out of view" is unique I suspect in the spider world.
