Description Citrus-y. ~.~

She (thanks ~kultarr for the info) reminded me of a little old man because of the white fuzzies in front... I used to know spider anatomy/terminology but I'm rusty now. But she was really cute... and after she got used to the camera, I got some wicked shots! I had to force her to leave, she was so friendly. I hope she's still doing alright. She's the bigest jumping spider I've seen around for the past few months.

I have three more pictures of her but I dunno if I should put them on... do you think so? I like them, and they're all cute sqaures so they're almost like a series.

The eyes of that Spider remind me of the Giant Spider from Harry Potter TCOS.

Also don't ask why but was that picture taken on the back side of your leg or something, because that must have at-least tickled a little.

Lolz?

I love spiders! As a kid I was afraid of them, but not now. But I shouldn't play with them because I'm allergic to spider bites and get a bad reaction. Most spiders don't just bite you, but there is a species of white wolf spider where I live that will crawl down a wall just to feed on you. I kill those spiders in my home, but I have lots of other kinds that can stay.

Do they really try to bite you like that? That's weird.

Seriously, you wouldn't think so considering how they eat: not sucking blood like mosquitoes but injecting digestive juices into their prey and waiting for it to liquefy. But these ones actually come down and bite you. I think the weirdest time was when I was working in my room and I felt something stinging my arm. I looked down and saw nothing, so I just went on with what I was doing (I don't scratch an itch like that because if it turns out to be a mosquito bite that only makes it worse) Anyway I felt it for quite a while when I finally said WTF is itching and I took a good closeup look. And I saw a white-wolf spiderling feasting on me. It was hard to see because it was tiny, and almost transparent, but I knew right away what kind of spider it was. The nerve of it!

Thank you! Yes, spiders are fascinating, and this one was really cute. I love them.
A jumping spider I know, and according to ~kultarr it's a jumping spider from the salticidae familly, gender female. As much as I love spiders I'm not that great on categorizing via species or sex.
Thanks again.

They are tiny... And cute! I didn't know this before, but these spiders even move their heads up and down to look at stuff. It was super adorable.

This is a jumping spider of the salticidae family and the sex is I'm pretty sure is female because the male have enlargened sperm storing organs at the tips of the pedipalps which therefore gives the appearance of the spider wearing boxing gloves when sexually mature

As if they're going to cause any harm. At my bus stop in the afternoon, there are a few spiders that resemble black widows... they are just so elegant!

The power of the macro lense is amazing. I love getting close to stuff like that. Thank you!
Well this one (apparently it's a girl) decided it would like the view from my hand better than the view on the table, it made me jump when she jumped at me!
