March Macros Part I: Jumping spiders

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

I thought I'd post a few of the macro photos that I've taken over the past month. Here's part 1 (of 3), with some backyard jumping spiders.

The first four images are Green Jumping Spiders (Mopsus mormon). #1 and #2 are females, #3 is a male and #4 is a juvenile.

#5 - #7 are Small Striped Jumping Spiders (Lycidas scutulata).

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
