[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the best my FZ8 lens could do on a macro. Just a bit of cropping by me at this picture. But this Jumping Spider has managed a "bumper crop"! A fly much larger than itself, to make it look like a weight-lifter carrying those barbells! Seeing me, it went under the leaf and I had to kneel down at a precarious angle to shoot a few. These spiders... they look at you! When I see a some tractors on the road, with their headlights close to one another, it reminds me of this spider's eyes. I'm yet to identify this particular spider - would be glad if someone knows where to place it on the database.

Hello Dinu,
Nice shot, great focus on eyes

Yikes! This is an excellent photo - and it also remind me why I fear these critters! I love the contrast, the grip, the composition, and well, heck, I love the entire photo!
