Bob Beamon Spider - _TNY_0496
Here's an extremely bouncy little boy in form of a male woodland jumping spider (Evarcha falcata) which was exploring the front porch at my mother-in-law's place.
I spite of this one being around 5 mm / .2" in body length, he kept making jumps almost 100 mm / 4" in length and also repeatedly jumped on top of the lens.
In the end he settled down a bit and I managed this shot which was taken at 3.9:1 magnification.
A shot of the female, which is pretty much just as cute, can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52274345556/
