[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The exact location is Yakın Doğu Üniversitesi in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

This one was caught with(-in) a snail shell, of Xerocrassa nicosiana, an endemic to island of Cyprus. Probably it was passing the hot spring day time in the shell.

Especially in salticid spiders (jumping spiders) usage of empty snail shells are very common during hibernation. Less commonly they can be found in shells guarding their egg sacs and passing hot periods inside (aestivating) like this one.

The ground spidy sitting on is the cap of an empty spring water bottle, which he jumped in snd enabled me to take the photo of the quite active minute spider.

dört göz tedirgin ediyor. Çok başarılı bir makro tebrikler

Hi Umit,
I can't resist those little eyes! I think that they are wonderful creatures. I wish that we have them in my country (do we?) This is an excellent macro with perfect clarity and DOF. Congratulations for this nice capture. Regards,
Claudine

Ümitim ben bu heyvanatı kıbrısta görmedim. Yada gördüm de burda iri gözüktüğü için pek algılayamıyorum. Gözlere odaklanmışsın. Pek de güzel olmuş. Bir kıbrıslı olarak ayrıca teşekkürler... Bayram

Umit,
Very cool shot, scary but funny to look at. Great detail. Strange looking thing.
Way

Extraordinary shot!!! Is it taken with the Lumix?
