Metallic Jumper

  • Thread starter larry

Found this little guy (about 1/8th inch) on my car as I was about to leave. It had an awesome metallic abdomen and gold flecks on it's legs. Caught it so I can take it's pic when I got home. I decided to keep him/her, fed it some wingless fruit flies.

What a beautiful specimen!

How do you catch it and bring home, do you have a deli cup and lid in the car at all times? If I see something interesting I never have anything secure to carry it home in.
 
Heh, no. I was at home when I found him, so capturing him wasn't a problem. But good idea, I'm gonna leave a deli cup in my car at all times just in case!
 
nice bug ,but id rather have the camera.
 
great macros!!
 
wow man. thats really cool. thats the only shiny spider ive ever seen. i wonder what sort of advantage that has in the wild....
 
Wow, macro shots are amazing, I wish mine were half that good
