Jumping Spider - Phidippus otiosus

...it's about half an inch long.

thanks very much

Hi there, seasons greetings, I'm not sure but I am fairly certain that what you have here is a Jumping Spider - Phidippus otiosus. They can jump more than 50 times their own body length from a standing start. They are harmless to humans. Nice shot focus could be slightly sharper but well done in the circumstances.

Hi Andrew,

yeah I had to sit on my knees, bent over in an umcomfy position.

Of course, no tripod possible.

So, indeed I had to make the best of it under the given circumstances.

Thanks very much for your information and appreciation.

cheers

Sam
