Jumping spider on dry & green

You know folks, I must go pretty close to the subjects to make a macro with my little camera and that is not always easy with living creatures.

You can see this kind of spider on the rock with barely visible orange abdomen.
I think I can see his eyelash peeping from the other side of green stalk on the second photograph.

Really like the first shot there Nikola, the contast, background, the texture of the stem, all look great to me and oh yes, the spider too. Nice!

He is such a cutie Nikola. Beautiful shots and a very colorful spider

Great photos Nikolas, I reckon its a male, hence the smaller abdomen.
Jumping spiders are the coolest! Just wish they were the size of Tarantulas!
