10/11 Stripped Jumping Spider

Another spider from my shoot yesterday. For you folks looking for jumping spiders, I found this on a boardwalk on the lake. Several week ago I photographed two other types also located on a lake on a boat storage building. All the structures were wooden

It is called a Pantropical Jumping Spider and Douglas is right it is a male, the females are brown with tan markings, "males are striped lengthwise black and white, with the stripes continuing onto the face." I am getting a kick that the book says black and white because the pics in the book look brown to me very much the same coloration as your pics here, definitely the same spider.
I am thinking that the ones that you have in your other set that are eating midges and roaches are probably the female of this species...
Very Nice!

Book also says that that spider is attracted to man made structures and occasionally is also found in agricultural areas, like citrus groves. It is a fairly large jumper, not as large as the Regal Jumping spider but the Pantropical female grows 9-12mm and the male 8-10mm as opposed to the Hentz which depending on the particular species is 3 to 5mm or 4 to 6mm.

Did you use the Tokina for these. What is your opinion of this lens. I'm researching macros at the moment. Great images-- proof -- my Wife thinks they're disgusting. Ah women!
