I followed a little jumper around a tree on my college campus one day until he finally stopped for a moment to inspect me

Gotta love these Salties! Somw of them, judging by their prey, look quite big compared to 'our' species!

Not the top quality photos that many of you produce, but definetely the nicest looking jumper I've ever found.

These pics are all really cool.

While at work recently, a buddy of mine pointed out a spider that had just fell into a 3' deep rinse tank.(water)
After about a minute, I was able to scoop it out and dried it off with the air nozzle and was surprised to see it had survived.

After watching it's imo unique behaviors, I love these little guys even more.

 

[Tunedbeat]

Gunslinger, would you happen to know what specie that is?
I cannot figure it out. :?


Here's some new photos, this little guy was the most difficult jumper I've ever shot. It was hard to get him to sit still for even a second.
