So glad to find one more jumper
Nov 12, 2013 10:38:31 #
May be my last one due to weather. I found this one while trimming my rose bushes yesterday in 70 degree weather. Dropped down in low 20's last night (currently 26 degrees with wind chill at 14 degrees with a 16 mph wind). Brrrrrrr.
For those of you that haven't found a jumper to shoot, I've added image 4 (straight from camera) to give you an idea of size and their peek-a-boo hiding techniques. :)

Settings were ISO 200, 1/200 sec at f/16, and 1/2 flash power. Sun was bright but s/he was deep down in the leaves and shadows. 1/1 flash was too bright, so used f/16 instead of my regular f/18.

Yes. The additional light allowed from f/16 worked better with the reduced 1/2 flash than the f/18 (less light) did with the increased full flash 1/1. I just experimented with different settings to see what worked better.f/16 allows more light to sensor than f/18.

Nice shot, Susan. Where do these guys go when it gets cold? Do they die? I know nothing about them except mine were gone weeks ago.

Hi CCG. Good to hear from you. I have been wondering what happens to them too but haven't been able to find out yet. I did find this really neat link though on a jumper's life cycle. Check it out!Where do these guys go when it gets cold? Do they die?

I'll keep looking for an answer to our question. I'm sure one of the spider "guys" could tell us. :)
According to this article, jumpers may survive over winter but they also leave egg sacs for spiderlings in the spring. Interesting article anyway. http://www.sciences360.com/index.php/spiders-in-winter-12062
