Jumping spider

Posted by Sing Chee (melbourne, Australia) on 9 December 2007 in Animal & Insect.

This little bugger was less than 2mm across. Didn't even realise he was a spider till i peeped at him though my macro lens.

Family Salticidae (characterised by the 2 HUGE, forward facing eyes), genus Hypoblemum I think :)

Apparently a male spider (cos of the forward facing matt-like hair on the top of the head, inbetween the square of the eyes).
