Macro Photography - Two species of small jumping spiders

While in the forest this morning I found two species of jumping spiders and I managed to take photos of both of them, although some of the photos didn't look perfect because the spiders' small size made the photos a little less than optimal. However, some of the spider photos that I share in this post, in my opinion, are still very worth enjoying.

The first is a species of jumping spider called Cosmophasis. Even though the size of this spider is quite small, its color is very attractive and has agility above the average of other spiders. Of course this is also influenced by his small body size so he is more agile & aggressive.

The color of this spider is also not boring because it has a variety of color patterns with several color combinations. This is certainly different from other types of spiders which sometimes tend to have only one dominant color.

Then at a different location I also found other species of jumping spiders which were also small. He is the Heliophanus spider. This spider was originally resting in its nest. I was curious and deliberately made him feel a little disturbed so he would get out of his nest. And apparently he came out of his nest & gave me the opportunity to photograph him.

Regarding color, this spider has a dominant black color with a few white spots. And what's interesting is that the two spiders that I share are spiders that both come from the Salticidae family.
