Not the prettiest of Jumpers, but hey just look at those loving eyes.
This spider has a tuft of white hair one each of its two forward legs that it keeps seem to be always in motion up and down, that is how it got its name.

I love these little guys. If you can nail them at the right angle you get the best DOF. But, good luck capturing these guys sitting still. I have some little females around the house that have white paws and rust colored faces, great subjects

You notice that I could not get straight on, he was not like the others, even though I brought him over to the bamboo, he immediately jumped off and started running around the table. I had to use my directing him back to the center of the table because he was wanting to leave. If you can nail them at the right angle you get the best DOF.

I conned Martin into sending to me, a handful of his table-top studio moss. You should try the same, as the moss calms the jumpers into feeling safe.You notice that I could not get straight on, he was not like the others, even though I brought him over to the bamboo, he immediately jumped off and started running around the table.

I have seen it in his pictures, if I am not mistaken it is what we call spanish moss, it is easy to find just about anywhere in the state.

They like the Spanish moss also. I sent Douglass some Deer Foot moss. The jumpers can climb down in the nooks. Same as a clump of the Spanish moss they hide under cover. The smaller the jumper the bigger the moss looks.I have seen it in his pictures, if I am not mistaken it is what we call Spanish moss, it is easy to find just about anywhere in the state.
