Jumping Spider hiding in a rolled up leaf
I've been lamenting that I didn't get any acceptable photos of Jumping Spiders (Salticidae) during the month of Arachtober - I've seen a few, but no photos - and now on the last day I got a photo! I noticed a rolled up leaf on a shrub of California Coffeeberry (Frangula californica, Rhamnaceae) today, and there was this tiny spider inside. I had to use flash to get some light into the tube, but it's a nice hiding place. I've also spotted these spiders hiding under leaves to stay out of the rain in Oregon, see this photo. I wonder how long this one will stay here? Arachtober 31b. (San Marcos Pass, 31 October 2019)
