    Great shots! I can appreciate how difficult they can be to capture. I have had no luck shooting jumpers. The ones I find prefer to either hop on top of my lens or run inside the hood when I get in range.

    Awwwwwww how cute is that little fella iloveyou.gif
    He's got a decent pair of fangs tucked under the front of his body there.

    They are so fast these little guys, I can rarely get within 3 feet of them,
    and they take off.

    I have been successful only the once in getting one to stay interested,
    and not run away.

    Beautiful shots Brian, I think he likes you nod.gif ..... Skippy :D

    Thanks for the kind comments everybody :)

    Skippy- these ones aren't normally too bad but think it depends how exposed they think they are - this one was on the side of a low stone wall and think it felt fairly safe.

    Bob suspect you do have theme there - just a bit too cold at the moment- they will only come out in sunshine.

    Michelle- these are fairly small especially as I don't think it's full grown yet- around 3 to 4mm body length. They are especially well camouglaged on this wall so I normally have to wait till they move to see them.

    Really cool! I don't get along with spiders - I was bitten by a BW many years ago, but that pose is great!
