Let me go back and try this again.
For the most part Jumping spiders are better photographed in the area you find them. If you observe for awhile you will see they tend to hang in the same area. Females for the most part are territorial and if you return to the same area you will most likely run across them again. Not always, just depends when they are out foraging. I return time after time to photograph the local jumping spiders. I've tried a few times removing them and taking home to photograph. The will instantly start roaming as to find their way home. They move much slower when left in their environment. You can even coral them with your hand, making them turn around and head back. If you place a stick down for them to climb on the will go to the top and sit for a minute also, just have a place ready to brace your stick and get the shot. Many times they will perch and watch you, making this a great time to photograph also. If you use your Flash, set ISO at 400, Shutter speed 1/200 and aperture at 22 you will likely capture some good photos. The flash and shutter speed will help with spider movement and camera shake. I hope this helps, I just feel attached to the jumpers as I photograph so many.

Pinky - One important aspect of using a NON-macro lens with extension tubes: A true macro lens has a flat Field-of-View, so when you photograph a flat subject like a coin, the corners of your image will be in focus as well as the center. A standard lens has a curved FoV, so when you photograph a flat coin, the corners may not be in focus as is the center. The more shallow your DoF, the more OOF in the corners. This phenomenon is most obvious with flat subjects, but is also apparent on 3-D subjects.

I can empathize with Pinkcat, the first spider I chilled I killed because I did not realize just how sensitive to cold that they are. Have not done that a second time but it happens. Let's face it Jumping Spiders make for some of the most impressive macro shots you can get without focus stacking, we can't all be like Martin... He has a special talent for these little guys, I think that he actually finds more of them than Shahan does and that is quite remarkable in and of itself...
