:) it poses best on fingertips... and yes they do jump on the camera a lot as i think they prefer higher platforms to pose ;)

LOL, I have that same trouble. That's the only time I touch them is trying to get them back where they were. Luckily they're very friendly and don't bite!

If I try to get really close I find they jump onto the camera ........

haha yes, it is addictive... but i got to change my technique of photography. i should avoid putting these spiders on my hands. :) but right now can't think of any better alternative as they jump alot. ;)
VivBraznell
: ) It's addictive is'nt it ha ha ........... I've just added a spotting of a jumping spider with the same markings here in Thailand. I was'nt sure if it was a 'jumper', so must edit my spotting.
