Wow wonderful shot i like the muppets :)
This little guy is completely harmless, Christine. Jumping spiders are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. They look like muppets!
I have never seen anything like it. Is it venomous?
beautiful pic !
Haven't seen you in a while, Greg. Good to see you back and with some nice spottings!
Colorful! Beautiful shot. I wish that you also had a photo of the rest of this Spider's body so I could see what it looks like.
