Field Notes

Description:

About 10mm long this thick-set, hairy and colourful little jumping spider allowed me one snap then vanished (as they like to do)

Habitat:

On a window frame at the local school under strong lights... possibly searching for other prey items.

Notes:

Perfect visual match at reference site.

Beautiful, I love jumping spiders. So graceful and beautiful. The only spider with research proving it is oddly drawn to people. Great shot!

Thanks J. Love these little guys but it's a pity the school wall wasn't cleaner. :-)
