Acho q nem preciso falar.. aeaeuhauiea
É uma aranha.. a espreita...
This small spider hardly 7 millimetres big decided to make it's home on my patio burner. Lets hope the weather stays warm or it's toast for this chappy.
Another view of this net casting spider in the garden. Using a low point of view I was able to include the net and its huge eyes in the same view.
On the top-right corner of an american $1 bill, sitting on the frame around the giant '1' is a spider -- Presumably the one who made the webwork all over the bill.

A spider checks out an insect that it had wrapped up previously. There are no freezer bags for spiders!

The summer is slipping away through my fingers and I am very unhappy... I want to go places, see things, experience new views and I know that time is short before the world will be covered in snow and the freezing temperatures will be keeping me tucked away at home... I dream of never-ending summer...

Spider silk is five times stronger than steel of the same diameter. Each thread is finer than a human hair and is able to keep its strength below -40C "Spider silk facts from BBC Nature".
A small Orchard spider, about 1mm, but the legs span is about 3mm. No matter the size, they swing and move fast on their webs. (Photo taken on the outdoor). My Macro/Micro World
Spanish/ Español: Los cientificos se asombran de la fuerza de la tela de araña, la cual puede sostener sin ninguna dificultad 100 veces su peso. Su cuerpo solo mide 1mm, pero el largo incluyendo las patas es casi 3mm. Pero no importa el tamaño, se mueven agilmente en su telar.

Jumping spiders have very good vision centered in their anterior median eyes (AME). Their eyes are able to create a focused image on the retina, which has up to four layers of receptor cells in it. Physiological experiments have shown that they may have up to four different kinds of receptor cells, with different absorption spectra, giving them the possibility of up to tetrachromatic color vision, with sensitivity extending into the ultra-violet range. It seems that all salticids, regardless of whether they have two, three or four kinds of color receptors, are highly sensitive to UV light. Some species (for example, Cosmophasis umbratica) are highly dimorphic in the UV spectrum, suggesting a role in sexual signaling. Color discrimination has been demonstrated in behavioral experiments.
The principal eyes have high resolution (11 min. visual angle), but the field of vision is narrow, from 2-5 degrees.
Because the retina is the darkest part of the eye and it moves around, one can sometimes look into the eye of a jumping spider and see it changing color. When it is darkest, you are looking into its retina and the spider is looking straight at you.
Thanks to my bro Tedt!
