One of the commonest spiders you can find around the house is the zebra spider, Salticus scenicus. You can find it sitting on the wall or on a window-frame but it is not so easy to spot. It is a tiny spider with a body size that doesn't exceed 8 millimetres. The zebra spider belongs to the jumping spiders. It does not make a web but stalks its prey. It will use a silk thread as an anchor. When it spots an insect it will slowly try to approach it. Now and then when it is out of the victim's sight the zebra spider will run. When it is within reach it will jump and paralyse the prey with its venomous 'jaws'.
To be able to capture prey like this jumping spiders rely on superb eye sight. Their eyes are truly remarkable. The front pair is the most impressive. They can be regarded as the best eyes you can find in any arthropod. They work as a telephoto lens. The retina inside the eye can move in 3 dimensions enabling the spider to look in all directions and focus on a subject. When you approach a jumping spider it will position itself so it can observe you. The 6 other eyes are positioned around the head for a 360 degrees vision.

Jumping spiders use their legs to pounce on their prey, which is typically other insects. Amazingly, jumping spiders don't have special leg muscles, like grasshoppers, to help them leap. They propel themselves by suddenly changing the blood flow in their body. Terminix

Who said Draft Horses can't jump ?! Here you have the proof that they can ! Well.. They sure don't look as elegant as real jumper horses cause of their chunkiness but if you meet a log on the path of your riding trail, be sure that the draft will go over it ! They are bombproof (well.. some aren't) and they won't back up !

The jumping cholla cactus, scientifically known as Cylindropuntia fulgida, is a tree-like cactus native to Sonora and the Southwestern United States. Barbed cactus spines can attach to people and animals coming to close resulting in a painful reaction. The Sonoran Desert is the most biologically diverse of the North American deserts. It includes parts of Arizona and California along the Mexican border. Print Size 13x19 inches.
I think this is the smallest one I've ever managed to photograph as the piece of blue gravel it's sitting on is approximately 2mm across.

I found this amazing little male jumper, Euophrys monadnock, in a pine and oak woodland at Cheyenne Mountain State Park near Colorado Springs, Colorado on June 8, 2017.
Something I've been meaning to try for some time... Jumping Pine Marten! Ideally I was after some daylight shots of them doing this but they either didn't play ball or I wasn't ready.
Fortunately it worked well at night though - once I'd eventually got the settings right!
Jumping Spider on my shed wall today. These are miniscule and there is no way I would be doing macro close ups if they were house spider size. :))
For the doubters among my followers...yep, I got the yip.
When I posted the Red-tailed Hawk yesterday, I mentioned that it flew across the prairie dog town while I was attempting to photograph a jump yip. Actually, I had already managed to get that shot about ten minutes before the hawk entered the scene.
During each trip to Black-tailed Prairie dog country, I've been rather intensively observing the little rascals with the intent of increasing my odds of capturing the jump yip. The payoff was that I captured nine of them during our latest trip.
Some info on jump yip behavior:
Black-tailed Prairie Dogs have a vast "vocabulary". Some scientists consider their vocalizations to be a language. They can communicate the type of predator/threat, the size, the color and whether it's on the ground or airborne.
One of their communications is called a "jump-yip" where one will stand up, seemingly without reason, on its haunches, lean back its head and call out "wee-oo." One of the main theories for this behavior has been that it's a signal of "all clear". But research has shown that they perform the jump-yip before, during and after dangerous events. Some researchers now conclude the whole point of jump-yipping is for one prairie dog to assess the alertness and responsiveness of his or her associates.
On Saturday, armed with my wonderful mamma's help, I took Micah who has severe ASD to the beach for the first time in many years. This beach is at Semaphore Park and it is where I grew up, learned to swim and spent many summers. It seemed fitting that this would be the place to take Micah. He was so filled with joy that passerby's would stop and smile at him and talk to me about how happy he was. He ran through the tide pools and splashed along the shore, jumping, laughing and having the best time. He is such an active boy, it didn't surprise me that he would be running around full of energy. What did surprise me was when he sat down at the shore line and simply watched the water come in and out. So at peace and just being still in the moment. A very special outing for both of us.
