Fuzzy Jumping Spider
Sometimes my camera annoys me, and other times it amazes me. This would be one of the amazing ones. This is the same spider I posted last week, but in a side pose showing off her fur. She is sitting on the window screen of my front door, which is about a 2mm mesh, which puts her body length right at about 4mm.
This jumping spider astonished me by being so distinctly colored and beautiful on such a tiny scale. I caught her in the act of eating a midge, but didn’t manage to get any clear pictures of her (and she dropped the midge, the better to run, when the camera got close).

Nice pic there b13.
I agree, that picture of the spider on the screen is really good.
I am still struggling with focusing the macro on my camera, but I should have a new pic for you soon.
