Tough guys these cute, little supermovers! However I'd rather call this behavior brave, than friendly. (: Thanks nice shots!

You might have a point there Mark... Or maybe it just liked me!!! Or I was the only thing that had showed it any interest.

Guess they aren't called Jumping Spiders for nothing Robert!!! The eyes sure are amazing.

Jumping?!! Aarghh! Those big eyes are so amazing. Now if they can stay flat-footed, that'd be great :)

I wonder if they do that because they can see an enemy in the lens reflection. Great shots TLTs
