Irresistible Cutie, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5303

This very cute one is a male black-palped jumping spider (Pseudeuophrys erratica) which me and my son found on the plank walkways through the Paradiset nature reserve.

 

Having Daniel around proved very useful as he used a blade of grass to direct this one in front of my camera and kept it from teleporting away the way jumpers so often tend to do.

 

Shot using the Canon MP-E65mm at 3.3:1 magnification.
