Seriously, the arachnids have so many form ... you never know.
I was really amazed when seen first time the photo of the Clown Spider (Mopsus Mormon).

Wow that sure is a nice clown jumper... however I find it quite difficult to take pictures of these guys... especially on macro! They sure are relentless.
I'll see if I can get one of the most stunning local species and take some pics... it's bright red + bright blue with tints of gold! Wish me luck... (they are hard to come by, either WC or being sold...)

Also thank you all for the links. Thanks Greg for that page... actually there are plenty of Zenodorus around where I live, and they appear inside our house quite often. Very skittish and unpredictable psycho jumpers they are...
Occasionally there are some Holoplatus around. They are terrible fighters, but they seem to be very poisonous (at least to other spiecies of jumping spiders) and when it is consumed, the other party often dies within a day.
