    Wow, you've really outdone yourself on this one Joost. Impressive macro and well-identified. Promoted to homepage and shared on G+ and FB.

    I love jumping spiders as well, but have never seen one before. I should start paying better attention :)     Posted 12 years ago

      Thanks for the promotion.

      Jumping spiders are very common, in the garden they like to sit on walls and paveways. Pay attention and you will certainly spot one.       Posted 12 years ago
