Jumping spider in shelter, female

I am a big fan of jumping spiders. I think they are the most adorably cute little critters. Today was a very good day for seeing lots of these gals (this is a female as you can see from the shape of the palps). She was sitting in her shelter on a milkweed leaf and when I tried to get a photo of the shelter she stuck her head out as if to say "What do you want?". Then she climbed out and peered downward, hanging on by her back legs. Very cute!

Wonderful with the story of your experience. I am beginning to appreciate this spider's look, the eyes are great. A fine shot of the lady coming out of her front door. V
