Got Milk? by myautofocuslife

Got Milk?

Doesn't he look like he has a milk moustache a mile wide? XD

I love this little guy. He was a wonderful chocolate-brown all over with black and white accents.

His dark coloring made it hard for me to focus on him properly, particularly when the leaf he was on was such a bright yellow-green. Sometimes I wish I had better macro skills to take better photos of these cute little jumpers. Of course, I also wish I could get them to pose for me obediently. I had to chase after this one quite a bit, he wandered all over the place as if he was looking for something he had lost.

But I'm not complaining. It's such an adventure to find one to shoot, and even the most short-lived encounter leaves a lasting impression on me. 8)

HAHA! that is cute! i had no idea there would be so many different kinds! we dont have jumping spiders here so i find them interesting!! great shot!
