Darth Vader in disguise? (8)

This little Jumping Spider reminded me of the character Darth Vader from the Star Wars movie. He was a bugger trying to focus on, I now know first hand why they are called jumping spiders.
From what I've read they are harmless, but they still look pretty intimidating to me with those fang-like jaws.
This guy's or (girl's) eyes amazed me, because they actually seemed to glow when the sun hit at just the right angle. I had hoped it would show up, but this photo didn't capture it.
After he allowed me to take his picture he turned and jumped to the ground and went on his merry little way.

I quickly selected the spider with the magic wand and feathered the edge @ 4 pixels.
