thats gross D8

*spiderblech*
but nice photo. nice and clear

Hehe, thanks :) Sorry to gross you out.

its alright xDD
seeing things like that close up, reminds me of the whopper of a spider thats under the desk o_o..

wolfspider by the looks of it

also a funny trick if you poke right next to them they leap away x3

No, it's definitely a Jumping Spider. The other shots weren't so clear so I don't have any good closeups but it's a Jumper for sure.

yush poke beside it and it jumps wolf spiders do the same well the jumpy fuzzy things in the UK do

I love jumping spiders. :) Cutest of all the spiders if you ask me.

It's amazing to think that they just sort of sit there, waiting all day for the single moment when they might catch something. Lovely framing, btw.

I'm glad they wait, it's easier for me to find them. :)

Thanks!

Cool. Hehe, it's trying to hide.

I love jumpers. We only have the fuzzy kind around here. I've managed to get my wife to stop automatically killing spiders, though when the one on the front porch (an orb weaver, not a jumper) caught a barn swallow, we had to draw the line. I like spiders, but barn swallows are the ONLY control we have on the fly population, and don't breed nearly as fast. (I was able to rescue the swallow and clean all the web off of it. The spider had NO idea what to do with something that big, and was cowering at the opposite end of her web)

I can't blame you for not being able to ID -- Jumpers are an absolutely gigantic family.

Never seen an orb weaver catch a bird, but the size of some of them here, I can imagine it's quite possible. :)

Great image - a tiny predator in its environment. Kudos.
:)

Thank you. :)

So itty bitty! How in the world did you spot it?!

Sometimes I wonder. I have really bad eyesight, but if you keep your eyes open and look at plants VERY carefully, you'll begin to spot things.
