V for Victory, Pt. 4 - _TNY_0552 (In Explore 21/2 2022)
A while back, I posted a shot of a male v-fronted jumper (Aelurillus v-insignitus) from the Käringboda nature reserve just outside Nynäshamn, Sweden, taken using the macro lens in my new phone (a Poco F3) here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51151288959 and was excited about the quality possible from a phone.
Obviously I didn't just shoot it with a phone camera so then I took a couple of shots using proper gear with the Canon 5Ds and a Canon 100mm macro lens like this one - and one here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51161731576/
Since mister Jumper decided to hang around, I went for a lens swap and fitted the Canon MP-E65mm for the best possible quality. This lens has variable magnification and was set to 3:1 mag when taking this shot: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51519647088/
A. v-insignitus is a pretty small species (the male is between 4 and 5 mm in body length) and has no English common name, but is known as "vinkelhoppspindel" in Sweden, meaning "angle jumping spider" or maybe "chevron jumping spider" because of the light markings on the top of the males head. These guys also have wonderfully green eyes which always look cool.
