Description
Well, I have had this dude as a "pet" for a couple weeks now. Took it in after I found him on a hibiscus that was infested with White Flies. So before I sprayed it with chemicals I brought him in.
Finally got around to trying something different. Placed him on a large mirror to get some shots.
Rather liked a few from the session, this being one of my favs. Hope you like it as well.
One tip, if anyone does this, use a lint free cloth to clean the mirror. I used paper towels and spent a bit of time in post work cleaning the tiny lint off the surface. ;-)
Thanks for looking. Believe this is a Bold Jumping Spider (pretty common around my yard).

This is superb and I think Jumping Spiders are the best pets you can get (for their size) and I must say that I rather like the species name: "Bold Jumping Spider." In my neighborhood, I think what spider-ologists would call "Pushy Jumping Spiders." Okay, I just made that bit up, but I have to say that the jumping spiders I've encountered were rather pushy. In a good way. Either that or nosy. I love the colors on this and I have to say that I envy you; I have yet to find an even vaguely-cooperative jumping spider. All of the ones I know of seem to possess Attention Deficit Disorder and are always doing something whenever a camera is aimed at them. This is a gorgeous shot and I love the iridescent touches. Stunning!

Holy wow! That is some image, Bruce! I've never seen a critter like this, particularly so up close and personal. You are quite the brave one, taking in this little visitor! I can't believe how fantastically detailed he is in this capture! Excellent!
