Phidippus jumper

[larry]

Finally, I found my first Phidippus spider! Been looking for one for a while. I wasn't even looking, was sweeping on my patio and noticed a black spider. Caught it, still not knowing what it was, just knew I've never photographed one of these before. It wasn't after I started taking these closeups that I realize I finally got a Phidippus johnsoni

Nice! I was looking at skateboards and some company has recently put out a deck who's design is nothing but a super macro shot of the eye turret of a jumping spider, really a cool board!
