Field Notes

Description:

A tiny spider found on the hood of a car by a Jr. Spotter in Carlsbad, CA This spider was content to let my camera lens very close to it. I saw several spiders of this type inside and outside houses over the few weeks after spotting.

You're welcome! I really enjoy jumpers too. You lucked out with the great background. It makes the spiders details easier to see.

Thanks, Cindy- I've updated the spotting. It sure was fun to photograph this spider. The sliver made a good back ground.
