Impressive Feat

What I thought was a bit of debris on the back of the chair turned out to be a jumping spider. It patiently waited for me to grab my camera and tripod...and it made minor adjustments to its stance as I crossed my fingers, hoping for a clear image.

 

It was only later that I learned jumping spiders have the ability to jump 30 times the length of their own body. Yes, I'm glad this little dude/dudette didn't see me as a viable meal. Here's to appreciating all of unique things about the world in which we live.
