Description Another shot from my macro photography course. Apart from it being a jumping spider (Salticidae), I don’t really know what it is... please let me know if you do. I’m pretty happy with how this shot turned out despite me not having been able to get all too close. I reckon it’s got a pretty nice atmosphere and the spider being so small might only support that

Salticids are so cute  Great shot! 
It could be a zebra jumping spider (Salticus scenicus), but it's hard to tell. Do you have any other pictures of it, or remember what the abdomen looked like?

They really are, aren’t they? Crazy to think some people are afraid of them
Thanks, I was extremely lucky to get this shot as I almost didn’t spot this little guy and he hid soon after. Due to this, I did not get a clear look at it and it was the only picture I managed to take of it... But I reckon it might have very well been a zebra jumping spider

Jumping spiders are some of my favourite animals

Aye, they’re pretty great!
I was super lucky to spot this little dude as I just kinda stumbled into him and managed to snap a pic before he left
