Jumping Spider
[Click to Enlarge]

A juvenile jumping spider pauses ever so briefly on some dried seed pods on the counter.
I love the pools of darkness that are its eyes!

[joendegz]

that spider looks mean and deadly, awesome shot, i can see them eyes looking at me

[mweich]

Iit's actually friendly and harmless...unless you happen to be a fly or something like that.

[olgy-art]

Omgggg how many eyes he has 😯😯😯😯

[mweich]

Eight of course!

[olgy-art]

Wooow that's a lot 😱😱😱😱😵

[mweich]

Haha, almost all spiders have 8 eyes! This is a link to a series of posts I did about 5 months ago, same kind of spider as the above post but in colour, there are also links to many other spiders and fun things like that!

To be honest i'm afraid a lot of spiders that's why i didn't notice that they have so many eyes 😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for a link, now i must to see that !

[mweich]

I hope my pictures help you overcome some of that fear of spiders. I had/have mild apiphobia but I've overcome most of it after taking macro pictures of bees and the like. Now, honey bees, no problem at all, the Giant Asian Hornet...well, that's an objectively dangerous one so yeah, I really don't like being near those ones!

[olgy-art]

Spiders look really cool and nice on the pictures, but i can't imagine even it in my hands 😱😱😱😵😵😵😵. I'm afraid even of smallest spiders lol, if i would see this guy for real i would run away like Flash from the movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[grahambiscuits]

That’s an amazing picture! It looks so focused like it was taking a picture of you and not the other way around.

[mweich]

Yes, these spiders are quite inquisitive and usually do turn to the camera!

[rizasukma]

Very beautiful my friend.
