Field Notes

Description:

About 5 mm long with black and white stripes on abdomen.

Habitat:

Usually found on walls and in gardens

Notes:

Usually these jumping spiders follow your every movement when observing them and jump or raise there front legs when you get too close but this one was very docile and didn't seam to care about me getting really close with my camera to take a photo.
