Jumping spiders are one of my favorites. They appear to have personality and seem more curious than anything. This guy kept jumping on the end of my lens as I was trying to get these shots. I found him on one of our rose bushes.

This little guy is now my desktop background.I might get to like spiders yet !
I just stumbled onto this page via google images (checking out beetles) but thought i would leave the note that I ADORE jumping spiders! I recently had one living on my car for a few weeks until I finally put it in the garden before a trip to the city. They are the terriers of the arachnid world- curious, gregarious, scruffy, and sooo charming. Look them in the eyes and know the sentient nature of these delightful critters. I knew one once that even seemed to enjoy being petted. Never, never, never hurt a jumping spider. I suspect they are above us in the realms of reincarnation. ;) :::: )
Great live photos! I think I have one of these captured in 3D at www.elenagt19.smugmug.com in the nature/macros gallery. I agree with the anonymous poster, these are curious creatures indeed! Their method of seeing is being intensely studied by the military. Cheers, Tonygt19

My mission is to reform spider squishers :-)
