Male Mopsus mormon

A first sighting for me of this curious looking Jumping spider. Both excitement and frustration high at this time - my camera flash deciding to have issues that very morning.

I made the best of a dark situation, hand held. Sharpness and detail are far from perfect. But I think he looks intriguing and rather distinguished in his 'Rembrandt style' portrait ha ha.

Body length 12mm.
