Jumping Spider
Possibly a male Beata as suggested by Chad Heins on bugguide. Found at Padre Island Beach. Kleberg County, Texas, USA.
Very pretty. Originally found on car after I parked on beach. Transfered to a drift log.
Unfortunately was not able to get very good shots of it. Pretty windy that day and did not want to get sand in the camera. Also, shortly after I transfered this cutie to a drift log it pounced on another spider and I did not want to disturb its meal.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
