Seeing Is Believing

John Lennon: "The more I see, the less I know for sure."

Doesn't this tiny jumping spider (5mm) look cute with his oh-so-big eyes! He was one of the most curious ones I've encountered, always stopping to look up at something or other. He stared at me repeatedly. I think, if he could speak, he would have many questions to ask. 8D

PS. There is a larger version to see if you like.

I've never said this about a spider before but he's really cute!

[Livia]

A great, big, curious-not-jumpy, fuzzy and quiet and cute "THANK YOU!" to everyone for taking the time to drop by! I cannot get enough of these jumping spiders and I'm always happy to spot one. Thank you so much for your constant encouragement!

you take the most amazing macro shots. I really love their little faces and no matter how many times I say it I just can't get over how animated they are. You should so look into making a science book for children :)

It reminds me of Antonio Banderas' Puss-in-Boots in the Shrek movies - those big liquid 'cute' eyes!
