Jumping spider

Somehow, this little spider managed to get between the glass and the mosquito net - great to get very close pictures. After the photo session, I set it free.

Eek! LOL Great capture. I'm glad you set him free.

@mittens Thanks! It's a little spider, compare it to the holes in the net

I'm not fond of spiders. they say every seven years we get bombarded with them. but I'm still happy you set it free.

You've made it look huge in your close up! Such fabulous detail especially on its legs. I'm also glad you set it free.

@bruni Thanks for your comment - I'm not really fond of spiders, or any other bug, but it made a good model.

Eek! I hope this was taken with a large lens! Great close-up but he looks huge...!

@bigmxx Thanks, I find it's cute - for a spider!

@filsie65 There was a glass between us, otherwise I would never have got so close, not even with a long lens. Jumping spiders are supposed to be harmless, but still... I prefer to keep a safe distance from any bug, just in case.
