Jumping Spider
Jumping spiders are known for their curiosity. If approached by a human hand, instead of scuttling away to safety as most spiders do, the jumping spider will usually leap and turn to face the hand. Further approach may result in the spider jumping backwards while still eyeing the intruder. The tiny creature will even raise its forelimbs and “hold its ground”. Because of this contrast to other arachnids, the jumping spider is regarded as inquisitive as it is seemingly interested in whatever approaches it. (Wiki)

Hello Byron :) Thank you so much for the wonderful comment :>)

Yeesh – I’d rather it just scuttle away – the less interest a spider has in me, the better.
Still, a fascinating image, always done well.
