Jumping spider ( Phidippus princeps ) by larose forest photos


28-SEP-2014	Christine Hanrahan

A very large and attractive jumper. I say 'large', but that is relative. This spider is large for a jumping spider, small for many other species.

Very well camouflaged, but not for your eye.

It knows how to blend...a great find, Christine

Fantastic macro and find - and the colour of the spider blends in with tree bark. Nature is amazing with all its wonders! V

I don't think I'd ever call a spider "attractive," but I would say your capture of it is excellent. V.
