Cardinal Jumper
Jumping spiders are perhaps the most diverse of all spider families. For the first time ever I found a cardinal jumper. It is one of the species of jumping spiders which are mimics of mutillid wasps (velvet ant) As always it wasn't too cooperative having it's picture taken and the front views I got all a little out of focus but I've put one in comments anyway.! I know where this one is hanging out so hopefully next time I'll get some better shots.
