@ Dixie, It is funny that you put that he is cute. I put this on my Facebook as "Fuzzy Jumping Spider" and all my friend's who I thought would be afraid of spiders really enjoyed this spotting. The "fuzzy" made it endearing. Truly, this spider is quite lovely.
Mayra, thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed this spotting!
