Wall Jumping Spider (Menemerus bivittatus)

Another fascinating spider was found with its pray on the wall. I happened to notice this spider was on the wall which urged me to get a few shots. I first sighted, it was killing its pray and soon it saw me with the camera, this spider left its pray. As it was a very small species of spider which I believe I would not be able to take with my DSLR, I used a smartphone plus an external macro instead. I was thrilled to see it calm there, so I could freely take the shots from various angles. What I dearly love about the spider are the eyes that, for a moment, stared at me before it moved away. Unlike the other days when I shot jumping spider, it liked to make long jumps and sometimes it used its skill to block the macro lens which of course I had to spend time waiting for it to return to where it belongs. It's always great to see such a jumping spider, especially their eyes that tempted me so badly to see the detail thru macro lens. Well, I took these photos with a smartphone plus an additional external macro device. It's a small spider that used to jump when it sees something coming up which is then called this eight legs creature as the jumping spider.
