I found this Phidippusjumping spider wandering around on my living room ceiling. Before releasingit outside I thought I’d take a few photos, and considering that its abdomenlooked a little small, I gave it a two-week old cricket to eat.

These photos were also a test of a new flash bracket anddiffuser I’ve put together. I have to say that I am very pleased with theresults!

There are a couple more photos of this critter on my blog.

Cheers,
EC

One of my favorite types of spiders. Some might even call Jumping spiders "cute". :D
