Description
Jumping spider walking on a wall at work. I cropped this one quite a lot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_spider
The jumping spider family (Salticidae) contains more than 500 described genera and about 5,000 described species,[2] making it the largest family of spiders with about 13% of all species.[3] Jumping spiders have good vision and use it for hunting and navigating. They are capable of jumping from place to place, secured by a silk tether. Both their book lungs and the tracheal system are well-developed, as they depend on both systems (bimodal breathing).

My favourite spider! They gobble all the midges at the Marina and do not leave cobwebs. Well done Christo, Clive

We nicknamed them Spider-Mechs, as they move about like they are arachno-robots!

These are gorgeous creatures and they have complex, multiple feet and even more feet on the ends of their feet. How weird is that! I love these critters and they're quite inquisitive as well. I can almost guarantee that as you were making this superb photo your model was observing you, very, very carefully! This is gorgeous and my thanks to your model! Super!
