Description
Found this little bugger a while back on the top of a Queen Ann's Lace flower out back. It was about 1/8 inch in size but full of " Big Attitude " when I tried to nudge him around for a few shots.
The attached link gives some good info on this species.

Wow! What a beautiful spider...crab...or whatever, lol. It looks like something carved out of a pearl. This macro is phenomenal, especially considering how tiny it was. And the size of your photo is perfect for my screen. #:O) Have a great day!

jumping spiders are so cool!! Also the most intelligent of spiders. Excellent macro!!

There is a free progream out called Irfanview that works wonders for resize and thumbnails.I love the translucense this bugger has,Lovely Macro.

1/8"? It either looks like a full size crab running around the beach (even though I know it's a spider), or a microscopic shot of something (like a dust mite) that lives in our homes! Anyway, it's another great photo. http://www.lyprinol.co.uk/images/dustmite2.jpg

Superb macro - these can be agressive quite nasty predators. This image looks great to me but have you looked at Fookes.com Easythumbnails for resizing - it is an excellent and free package.

A pretty freaky shot, looks like one of those shots where they tell you everyone has 300,000 of these in your bed. Nice shot!
