My First Jumping Spider
May 22, 2014 22:23:32 #
I have been looking for awhile for jumping spiders to try to capture a photo of one Someone on this forum told me to look for wood fences and a body of water. Today I found such a spot and captured my first jumping spider and also a strange looking fly. Any comments are welcome as I am trying to learn and improve.

I was wondering when you were going to post some shots like this. These look darn good. Looks like a female Grey Wall Jumper. I have them all over my building. #2 looks just like a shot of one of mine. I think you can find it on my flickr page.

Thanks, I understand what you mean. I was beginning to think I'd never find one and suddenly there she was. Thanks for commenting.
