I'll often tell people, if you're afraid of spiders try getting a nice picture of one. Most of them run and hide. The exception is jumping spiders. These wee fuzzballs are curious like miniature cats and some will jump on the camera. Check out this Emerald Jumping Spider selfie.

Yes, when you realize that to most small animals you look like a giant predator, it changes your perspective.
....I still don't want them touching me.😅

And some of my favourite photos this month have been of jumping spiders!
They are a lot of fun to interact with for sure!
Yeah, these spoods are also the perfect size for my equipment
But I met this one yesterday, which was about 1/4th the size of the one above, and I had difficulty getting better results. But it felt like it knew it was being interacted with and didn't run away. 💯
