I was really hoping when I saw that, that is was not real....<>
.....Dawn is right. I am going to dump my brushes out before I use them!!!
I could not have killed him either. As afraid of spiders that I am, I really kill them, try to move them away from me on a 20 foot stick...or have one of the crew rescue me :D
Hi there, I am a bit of an aracnophile AND and an aracnophobe (weird huh?) and had to comment on these great pics. That is a jumping spider, a Phidippus audax of the Salticidae family. Tiny, harmless to humans and utterly adorable. Sorry to be a nerdy pedant, but those beautiful iridescent green 'eyes' are actually the mouth area! What a smile eh?
That spider is actually kind of cute...
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHH!!!!!! *squish*
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, look at those little green eyes!!! Tell me you didnt kill her, right?!?!! :D

Thanks Simon! I've always called this a jumping spider, but never knew it was the correct name.
