Spanish Jumping Spider - Menemerus semilimbatus

So my Spanish trip resulted in my first "proper" jumper encounter.
Such a beautiful spider she was too. As I watched her hunting I managed to get a few reasonable images, but then she caught a fly in a movement of quite astonishing speed.
Anyway - These are what I managed to capture before she retreated with dinner.
She was about 12mm with legs. Her pedipalps were incredible!
As shot, cropped and with only a light sharpen.
