Marpissa Muscosa (Jumping Spider)

[Lyanna]

Well, it's been a while since I showed my face around here
Study, moving, working, it all ate up my time. But hey, summer is finally here, my study year is almost over and I just moved to a more rural area of the country so, taking pics is easier than ever.

Yesterday I started exploring my garden and bumped into this little girlie who was so kind to sit still and pose for me. It's one of the largest jumping spiders around (11 mm) in Western Europe, and they've got exceptionally large eyes.

Tell me what you think? (shot with a Canon G5 and an additional macro lense)
