tiny jumper, mostly white and black
tropical forest
Not the clearest photo but this was a feisty little jumper. I spotted it outside of my room (I had to stay in a room one night at the park because my tent got flooded by heavy rain) in Nam Nao National Park on a cleaning rag. I moved in for a closer look and it stopped and looked up right at me. Then it attacked and literally jumped at my lens!

Great capture!
Thanks Brandon. Yeah, I really see what you mean after you mentioned it. Good eyes!
Awesome Macros!! The second photo really takes my breath away. Almost looks like it's mimicking a Walrus or seal. (whiskers and all)
Thanks very much swathyraja
Thanks a lot Ali and willie. @ willie, it was not intentional at all, but now that you mention how it made it so much better, maybe it's something I'll try to do again in the future.
simply put, your use of a piece of fabric when making your capture makes this spider go from great to grand. Well done.
simply wow!
