All of these were taken on a 12 foot section of the siding on my house.
The pugnacious jumping spider catches its prey by chasing after it, not with a web.
They are curious and unafraid, when you get close, they might jump on your lens if you're not careful.
Multiple simple eyes, including 4 headlight-like ones in the front give the jumping spider probably the best vision in the arthropod world.
