When friends come to visit.

These pics aren't very high quality - just interesting what you can see from the verandah ...

Edit: I struggle a little with the in-flight shots - waiting for the eternally-promised 7D mk ii.

Youve had a field day on that verandah Geoff, nice variety of critters, good show

Hi,

The jumping spider is good, sharp. You can see these little hunters look at YOU when they focus.

Cheers

As you say, not very high quality, I say pigs ar@e, they are excellent.
Not too many people can do that just by hangin out on the verandah.

Very well done,

Damien

Yeah, those jumping spiders are so cool - and their personalities vary, even within the same species. Some are shy, some inquisitive etc ... and their behaviours are some of the most "intelligent" of the insect world.

We are lucky enough to have the Portia species here and I have been privileged enough to seem them hunt other spiders - sneaking up on them, circling around etc.

Most spiders creep me out but jumping spiders are great.
