Plexippus paykulli | Pantropical Jumping Spider

Jumping spiders are my favorite macro subject, and what I love most about them are their marble eyes. So wherever I find jumping spiders, I'm always interested in capturing them.

This is a jumping spider that was taken in my yard—a male, I think. Plexippus paykulli , I guess is that species of spider. He is also often called the pantropical jumping spider.

Those eyes...kept bulging, round like shiny black marbles.

Seeing his behavior, it's so adorable, especially when he prances and shakes his pair of pedipalps.

This little guy loves to play hide and seek; he slipped behind a leaf and suddenly reappeared. Yes, sometimes he irritates you. But you can assume that you are playing with kids, so you have to be patient with them. 😃
