Taking notice

Eric noticed this small jumping spider on his T-shirt, so we went out in the backyard for a photo:

 


It was an excellent jumper, so before we knew it, the spider ended up on my jacket and started looking around: 

 


This juvenile Red-backed Jumping Spider (Phidippus johnsoni) seemed to be taking notice of everything:

 

What eyes!  What a face!  What a "hair-do"!

    I am not knowledgeable about arachnids, but I am an excellent judge of character, and this one sure looks like quite a character! It seems a bit taken aback at being confronted with a pair of gigantic humans. I love the thought of you checking each other out :)

    Thanks for the amazing photography.
