Jumping Spider (Salticidae) in Coast Live Oak
I found this tiny Jumping Spider (Salticidae) in a narrow gap between two leaves of Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae). Sure, it's looking at me. There's something unnerving about making eye contact with such a tiny critter, but here it is. There are many kinds of these little jumpers that I can't tell apart, and this is one of them. Isn't it cute! (San Marcos Pass, 31 January 2018)
The NWS Forecast Discussion this morning said that "The weather pattern is relentlessly unchanging through the xtnded period." Later on they added "Really not seeing much change in this pattern at least through next weekend as well so it`s looking likely that the first 10 days of February will be dry and quite possibly longer." The weather is warm and beautiful but dry dry dry. For some reason the chorus frogs have been really going at all night it in our outdoor bathtub water garden. Go figure.
