Curiosity

Dick Walton, Naturalist and Writer: "Jumping spiders are marvellous creatures. While observing these critters in their lilliputian world is not without challenges, the rewards are well worth the effort. Jumping spiders are one of the few animals I know that pause to watch their human observer with what seems to me to be curiosity. Take time to return the favour and enjoy the jumpers."

And this cute little guy (6mm) sure was curious! 8D

Great shot, Fav

Not keen on his long legs, explains a lot as to why they watch you watching them:0)

That stare is so awesome and cute! :-)
November 9th, 2012  
Love those eyes ;-)
November 9th, 2012  
@abhijit In bushes or on trees in the parks, mangrove forest and nature reserve. They are very tiny, about 5-6mm only, and are always on the move so you need to keep a sharp eye out.

Beautiful macro!
November 9th, 2012  
I find the Walton quote extremely interesting because it confirms what we all have been observing in your photographs of these tiny arachnids: they do seem to be looking straight at you, with a hint of actual eye contact. Fascinating.

Fabulous Livia.
November 9th, 2012  
Cute litte bugger! The spiders in my corner of the world are just plain creepy.....especially when one decides to take a tour of my head and neck!
November 9th, 2012

November 9th, 2012  
I just adore the faces of these guys. Those eyes... :-0) great shot..
November 9th, 2012  
Trying to put my 2 year old to bed. Was looking at your photo on my phone, and he says..."That's a big spider looking at me"
I say...no....he's really small.
He says..."noooooo daddy, he's really big. I like him."
Another fantastic capture. Love how you caught the look of curiosity. Fits the quote. Fav.
November 9th, 2012  
Amazing shot. His eyes are something to be enjoyed.
November 9th, 2012  
Love him...his legs seem longer than some. I know their eyes are fixed....but they definitely seem to have a curious look to them.
November 9th, 2012  
Amazing. His legs look too long for his body!
Only 10 shots to go for you now. :)
November 9th, 2012

A great, big, curiously wide-eyed "THANK YOU!" to everyone. I'm grateful for your time and support. And thanks to 365, I have discovered the weird and wonderful world of tiny jumping spiders. They are such cute and fascinating creatures. I will always look out for them because it makes me smile to be able to spot and observe one.
November 11th, 2012  
@will_wooderson Jumping spiders have the ability to jump 20-50 times their body length. They're amazing. 8)
