Plexippus paykulli ♀ (Audouin, 1826)
This little jumping spider is a female Plexippus paykulli (Audouin, 1826). Although it looks big in your screen, the spider is less than 1 cm. Also, this shot is very special for me, as it was awarded the 2nd prize in the “Fauna and Flora” photo competition organised by the Cyprus Photographic Society. This was my very first participation in any completion and I am quite delighted from this outcome.
For the record, and those interested in the technical details, the shot was taken with Nikon D750 and the superb Venus 60mm f/2.8 Ultra-Macro @ f/11, 1/200s, ISO 100 and diffused SB-900 flash.
Let me know what you think!
