Be Friended with Jumping Spider [Hyllus Diardi Female]
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. So this afternoon, I headed out to the bush where I could find nice subjects to be shot, turned out, I found this spider. The bush was located near the village street and that was my third time visiting this area.
Right after he was done with the shots, I came up to the hill and started to play with some clicks, hard to leave such a beautiful piece of nature. 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.

Jumping spiders are tiny, colorful wonders, always capture my eye. Their big, curious eyes sparkle and show a bright, small world. Their fuzzy bodies look like jewels. Each photo reveals an eight-legged beauty.
