Our Little Jumping Spiders.

I have been looking for the Zebra jumping spiders that we saw on one of the garden sheds last week but the weather has been too cold for them to come out because these spiders really like warm sunny conditions. Alternatively I started to look inside the particular shed where we had seen them and where there is shelter from the cold wind. After a few days I managed to locate the female up on the shed roof and she happily climbed onto my finger and then into a specimen pot. I brought her inside and let her wander around on a few small props while I tried to photograph her. She is a very accommodating and friendly little spider and she posed in numerous positions allowing me to take some nice shots. After twenty minutes she was returned back to where I found her and she wandered off to do whatever spiders do. We have become quite fond of her and I hope she is around for some time along with the male that we also photographed last week.
