Finger Jewelry - _TNY_5452

While walking along the water in the Mjällådalen nature reserve near Härnösand, Sweden, I spotted this young raft spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus) on a leaf.

 

While photographing it, it decided I was scary and tried to hide on the underside of the leaf. I tried to herd it back with my finger and we did this a couple of times until it took a left instead of a right and ended up on my fingertip instead.

 

This seemed to confuse it enough for me to be able to take a couple of shots before I let it back on the very same leaf.

 

Cute, right?
