This should originally have gone in the spiders thread but I put off posting it as I considered it one zebra spider shot too many. However, I just love this little creature and decided to get feedback from the non-arachnophile members.
It was sitting on the door of my camper van, hence the white background. This is a stacked image of 7 hand-held photos taken in daylight. 55mm lens fitted to 36mm macro ring.
The spider itself is 3-4 mm long (body + head) and width over legs 1.5-2mm.
These jumping spiders have extremely good eyesight and take a great interest in you if you get close to them. They are beautiful creatures which totally invalidate the common view that all spiders are large, ugly, long-legged, hairy monsters which spin great webs.
I would love to get all feedback, good and bad, about this photo. Thanks in advance.
