Jumping spider gorgeousness
I was walking up the stairs towards the entrance door of my family when I saw this guy staring at right on edge of stair railing. I am not sure if I disturbed his hunting trip, or he wanted to go inside.
Big eyes, furry legs...
Of course I grabbed my camera I stalked him for a bit.
He walked up for a bit and I thought he will jump down and I will not see him again.
But no...
He just looked how far down it was, then looked at me as if he was asking what the hell I want from him and then continued to walk around a bit.
I left him doing his thing about about 15 min, though I could watch him for much longer. He was quite big for a Jumping Spider. The ones I sometimes see among my plants on my balcony are about half the size. I guess I don't feed them well enough.
All equally adorable though!
I am just thinking.. if they were bigger, we could pet those furry heads like we do pet cats and dogs :) Scratch a bit, ask for a paw... and they will look at you with their big, black eyes and wiggle the pedipalps all happy.
They are just so cute!
And now I can almost hear all the people that hate spiders scream yuuuuuukkkk noooooooo!

I would allow this one. But no other spiders!
Great photos!
I like spiders, it's a pity I just can not distinguish a poisonous spider. I will hope that I will not meet with him! :-)))
Thank you!
I don't know how many really poisonous spiders like in Europe. I think we are quite lucky here and most do not do much harm.
I think that in Cyprus there are few poisonous spiders, maybe there are none at all.
I need to read information about this :-))
ale słodziak!
co za oczyska!
tylko giry ma jakieś brudne, całe w mące, czy w czymś 😛
Haha a bo to taki podworkowy lobuz jest :)
Wigling the pedipalps 😂 😂 😂 😂
What a cool little spider! Great photos as usual!
You know.. how doggies wiggle their tails 😂
Wow! This one looks big! He seems like a crab to me!! He’s quite good looking you! LoL
Naaa not big at all :) A size of a small bean.
That’s a relief! Optical illusion!
haha .. An adventure. An exciting moment, even if it's only done at home. I'm sure it's not easy to get good pictures. The seconds where someone is between hope and disappointment, and the heart beats too. But I guess, the guy who is the object of photography is also very heart pounding ... in a few seconds, he thinks how will be his fate ... LOL
Excellent results!
Thank you very much :)
Amazing eyes, you really had an opportunity to get up close and personal with this little guy.
Our jumping spiders are not very big so if that one is another smallish one you really had a great photo shoot!
This one was less than 1 cm and it was the biggest ones I saw. They are quite small :)
Ours are tiny over here so that is quite some photography skills going on there....
They are gorgeous while they are small :) If you saw one of a size of a cat it would not be that pretty i am sure lol
I am sure it would be very pretty. But I would run like crazy :D
Well you guts getting close to the spider... I guess it was worth it, you got some amazing shots :)
Yeah very nice
Spiders are ok... especially those.
But a moth... oh hell no!
Fantastic photos! Great job getting up close to this little guy! I, too, have always thought these were cute spiders, as spiders go! 😁
Hahaha as spiders go :D
I would come even closer if he didn't run away. I like those guys :)
Hairy and scary but very beautiful photos.
Thank you :) They are harmless though.
😆😆 petting, noo.. he would spin you in a spider web all the while 😆
He looks bigger btw, I love the eyes they have. Keeps moving so constantly.
Beautiful time spent with camera. Thanks for sharing 😊
They don't make spiderwebs :D You're safe :p
