A tame species of jumping spider

Hello photography lovers. While in the forest some time ago I found a species of jumping spider in the grass. And without wasting a chance, I immediately pointed my favorite macro lens at the spider. But what's interesting is that instead of the spider avoiding it, it's not afraid at all with the macro lens that I point at it.

I thought he was going to run away or hide in the grass, but he jumped into the lens. Of course it would be impossible for me to photograph him if he was standing on the lens. Finally I pushed my hand against him and he jumped into my fingers.

Even though this spider is quite brave, that doesn't mean I can easily photograph it. Because even though he was already standing in my fingers, this spider just kept moving. I have to shoot it multiple times so I can get a good result.

The spider that I found seems to be the Hyllus semicupreus spider from the Salticidae family. This jumping spider species has quite an attractive appearance. Mainly lies in her beautiful eyes and white fur that covers her body.

Don't be afraid, he doesn't bite. In fact, it's very comfortable in my fingers :)
