Amazing shot...
I gotta say HOW flipping Amazing this shot is!!!!!!!!
This is just a stunning macro! Without seeing the rest of the body I can't say a species but this is most likely from Genus Phidippus. Phidippus audax (Bold Jumper) is a common one that is seen.

great image, how big was this fellow?
I still can't get over his face!! Lol!
Right out of an ultraviolet nightmare! Great Macro.
Now that's an expression!:D
Nice close-up Matt. Spider eyes work differently Chief - it's just reflections.
This is by far the most interesting picture I have ever seen on a spider! Thank you for sharing this beauty!
