These are some crazy cool little spiders.
Since we've moved to Arkansas, we've seen a lot of these. Our favorite part about them is their iridescent blue-green chelicerae. Now that I've purchased a macrophotography lens under the guidance of @winstonwolfe, I'll be able to get some closer photos of the creatures that I've been encountering. I'm still figuring things out, but here's a few close-ups for you to enjoy. I like to call this guy "Bluebeard!"
BOLD JUMPING SPIDER
By way of comparison, here is a photo of me trying to get the same shots with my other lens. Obviously, I really like the macro lens!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
When I was much younger I used to collect jumping spiders! Much to the delight of my mother and siblings of course. I like that this little one has mismatched eye colour.

I'm wanting to purchase a new lease for my camera also. I am no professional, but want to begin learning how to use my SLR better. Where do I begin and how do I know which sense works best? I really just want to be able to capture memories with our kids... vacations, activities, sports etc.

This is the only spider that I think is actually cute. It's furry and has big eyes (four of them, but hey...)

He reminds me of an uncle I use to have before he passed away. Especially the shots where one eye is red and the other one blue, that's uncle Travis alright.

I caught a lot of these exact jumping spiders as a kid. They're were my favorites because of their size and coloration and they'd start eating any insect I threw into their jar immediately.

I love jumping spiders, and this one is especially attractive. Thanks for mentioning @winstonwolfe. I'll find out what he has to say about macro lenses. Maybe one day I'll be able take macro photos like yours!
