Marpissa muscosa

After long searching I found the name of this jumping spider, at least I hope so.

One of your best, Mike! I love the ring flash reflection in all the eyes, and great job on the focusing. Thank you for taking time to identify it. Posted 8 years ago

  Thank you Ferdy for your response and placing on the home page. Yes, that's definitely one of my best recordings, but at the moment I was also well in my skin, and everything went well with the spider. He stayed calm after 15 minutes. I have even more good recordings from this series, but since you can not place a common sense of the same series, I do not do that unless it is not an objection. Posted 8 years ago

    Not sure what you mean with common sense, but if you have more images from a different angle, you are welcome to share them. Just don't share exact or near-duplicates. Posted 8 years ago
