A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I believe this is a Phidippus clarus but I am unsure.
On a tall skinny plant at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Norfolk, VA.
Photos taken with my Canon 5dII, Canon mp-e65, and Canon mt-24EX flash heavily diffused. Shot handheld, ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/200s.
Great series! Jumping spiders are photogenic and you have shown it. The first photo almost makes it seem like a cartoon character (or model for one).
Nice one
Please consider adding this to the jumping spiders mission !
