Field Notes

Habitat:

On grass blade in Goldenrod Meadow.

Notes:

Definitely dating and possibly on the way to mating!
The brown individual is a female and the black is a male. They stayed together while I photographed and beyond. This was in direct sunlight in a goldenrod meadow. These tiny jumping spiders were typically active in the middle of the day, not seen much earlier or later in the day.
