Love those jumping spiders, Ron! The most intelligent spiders. I've seen videos of them actually reasoning out a problem in recovering prey they've bitten.
Great pics!

Very Nice! I'm surprised that your irises have already bloomed, mine haven't even spiked up a stalk yet.

Thanks Jim..A lot of people are creeped out by them, but I find them to be friendly very curios little creatures.

Ron,
Do you use a ring flash or any flash? And, are these free hand shots or did you use a tri pod? In my old age I can't hold my camera steady on many subjects.

I used a tripod for these in natural light...I just got a flash for my camera and still learning how to use it..Trying to get things together to make a home made diffuser to soften the light.
