Arachnophobes look away. Seriously, spider pics
I got woken up this morning by Mr B who, even though he was now 30 minutes late for 'work' had decided to call me out to his car with my macro lens to take photos of this guy.
I cannot identify it anywhere through websites or my books but have posted on a spider forum. It is a jumping spider. I'm sure of that much
He was maybe 10-15mm 'head to toe' and had the most amazing colouring! It doesn't show very well on the photos but his legs were fluorescent green. Really really bright and translucent. He was white and had two red stripes down his carapace and abdomen, ending in a sort of chevron/wiggly bit. In the middle of his abdomen (between the two stripes) it was a more creamy than white colour.
I couldn't get too close as he jumped on the lens which frankly scared the c*** out of me so I was rather hesitant in getting any closer.
Anyway, here he is, more photos HERE

he actually does have a rather cute face doesn't he? Not often one can say that about spiders, let alone jumpers/hunters with those TWO MASSIVE EYES on the front but I think his festive colours help
