Downy Jumper (Attulus pubescens)
This Downy Jumper spider was climbing up our patio door. The same double glazed door where I found the grasshopper a couple of days ago - hence the double reflection. Mind you, I think I need to get out and clean the windows and glass doors after the rain we had recently!
This jumping spider has a body length of approx. 5mm.
Jumping spiders are mostly daytime hunters. They do not build a web. They stalk their prey and leap on top of them at close range. A silk safety line ensures that they do not fall when stalking prey on vertical surfaces.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
