Jumping spider

Salticidae

Description:

Jumping spider (10mm) on a string and on a towel. I tried to find the correct specimen name, but there is so many!

Habitat:

Jumping spiders live in a variety of habitats. Tropical forests harbor the most species, but they are also found in temperate forests, scrub lands, deserts, intertidal zones, and mountainous regions. Euophrys omnisuperstes is the species reported to have been collected at the highest elevation, on the slopes of Mount Everest.

Notes:

It was nice to spot it and so I went to try my macro lens on it. Recropping the image, I like the result, I hope that you like it too.
