Stunning photos. She is beautiful. I wonder why it is that they always face us. I don't know of any other spiders that do this. It makes me thing they are intelligent.

KarenL, thank you for the information on this beautiful Spider, with your help I went into a search that was very amazing..I even found out that it was a Female!! Thank you again.

Thank you so much for the ID, KarenL.

Thank you, namitha.

How colourful! They're interesting creatures, too clever for their size :)

Thank you, staccyh.

Thank you, Jemma. I have found Jumping Spiders do that, always try to face you or the camera... they are very smart and playful.
