Atul, this wonderfully colorful little jumper was chosen as Spotting of the Day! Congratulations! "Although the jumping spider family Salticidae contains more than 500 described genera and about 5,000 described species, you'd be hard pressed to find one more colorful than this Elegant Golden Jumper!"

Thank you So much carla and Gerardo!
lol thanks Laura ,you could tell him this guy is so tiny that if you put him on the desk ,he wouldn't be able to spot it even.
I showed my arachnophobic boyfriend this pic, in an attempt to show him how lovely spiders are! He conceded it's pretty, but still hid behind the desk. Beautiful spotting, Atul ;)
