[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider families because of the shape of the cephalothorax and their eye patterns. The families closest to Salticidae in general appearance are the Corinnidae (distinguished also by prominent spines on the back four legs), the Oxyopidae (the lynx spiders, distinguished by very prominent spines on all legs), and the Thomisidae (the crab spiders, distinguished by their front four legs, which are very long and powerful). None of these families however, has eyes that resemble those of the Salticidae. Conversely, the legs of jumping spiders are not covered with any very prominent spines. Their front four legs generally are larger than the hind four, but not as dramatically so as those of the crab spiders, nor are they held in the outstretched-arms attitude characteristic of the Thomisidae.[4] In spite of the length of their front legs, Salticidae depend on their rear legs for jumping. The generally larger front legs are used partly to assist in grasping prey,[5] and in some species, the front legs and pedipalps are used in species-recognition signalling.

Hello Foozi,
Great shot of this colorful Jumping Spider. Just look at those large dark eyes..how cute is that! I like the way he is framed diagonally as well as the sharp focus you managed to capture. F/13 aperture gave you some really nice DOF. Very informative notes!!

Hello Foozi,

you're capturing well this spider on leaf by a good composition, good focus and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the spider with unique cephalothorax and round eye patterns. It's impressive in @artial blue color of leg, too.

Kind regards,
mikio

Hi Foozi,
How did you manage to meet Dart Vader? :-) Really the first Star Wars episode from my childhood came to my mind when looking at your picture first. Excellent, spectacular macro shot with great sharpness on the spider's head. Brilliant job!
Best regards, László
