Ready to jump - look into my eyes!
My first jumping spider, and isn't he a beauty. They have the most wonderful eyes, so perfectly smooth.
He was tiny, probably only 4 mm long and was a difficult subject. This was focus stacked from 3 images to get the required depth of field. He was walking up a wall so I quickly built a set for him and coaxed him onto it, he was a bit quick, but sat still for a few seconds while I grabbed the three shots for this stack. I put him back on the wall after the shoot so he could go on hunting. I wish there were more jumpers around...
