Jumping spider

Ottawa west

This was a very large jumping spider, who was playing hide and seek on a milkweed plant. Every time I pointed the camera at her, she'd move around the other side of the stem, or run up or down the plant.

Glad to hear they're small since they jump. :) She has a lot of eyes for picking a good landing spot too. Love the detail in this close up. It's actually pretty. V.

She surely has more eyes to spot us than we do. :-) It feels like she is getting ready to jump at us from the screen. Nice macro. V.
