Jumping Spider (Salticidae) on a flower of Common Ivy
This cute little Jumping Spider (Salticidae) has climbed up onto a spent flower of Common Ivy (Hedera helix, Araliaceae) in Portland, Oregon last month. Hah - see this photo and this photo to get a sense of scale! Is the spider missing one of its palps or is it just the angle of the shot? I got this photo during our recent trip to Oregon. I'm posting it today in support of International Jumping Spider Day on 10/10. Really! Arachtober 10. (Mount Tabor, Portland, Oregon, 27 September 2017)
