Field Notes

Description:

Tiny jumping spider, with front legs that are elongated and black, while rear legs are clear translucent, making it appear to be a tiny scorpion.

Habitat:

Table top, back porch, farm in Austin tx

Notes:

It might be a Heinz jumping spider, but not entirely sure, but it wasn't harmed, and even jumped onto my finger for a second or 2 while corralling it for the photos, I have a video as well.
