I can't believe I just said Awwwww cute! In my head about a spider ( VERY arachnophobic).
Great shots as per usual

Yes, jumping spiders do have two large eyes along with the smaller ones. And the first time I shot a small jumping spider I also noticed the cute factor. Even it's actions the way it was moving it's head to get a look at me was cute. I always enjoy looking at your macro shots Kurt even though they all make me envious.
