Zebra jumping spider!
This was on a sign in Stanley Park, Vancouver.
Getting into photographic tiny creatures is one of the big reasons I got a macro lens. Turns out it's pretty tricky to do well (especially since I don't have a flash right now), but I thought these shots turned out at least ok!

A jumping spider crouched on a dark green painted surface, with black and yellow-orange hairy striped limbs and body, and several large shiny black eyes.

This afternoon, Juno was on the storm kitchen door, longingly looking outside from the window. He knows it’s still frigid outside. If he really wants to go outside, there’s enough of a gap in one corner between the door and the frame.

I offered a ride (a plastic measuring cup), he hopped on inside, back to the lemon tree in the kitchen where he lives.

Juno the fluffy jumping spider, perched on the edge of the storm door window, looking outside. The blurry evergreen tree green is seen through the rain/snow-stained glass.

Hi Juno! Lovely to see you!

The jumping spider on the rim of the lemonTree pot, looking at me with cute black eyes. I see the green pedipalps. He’s quite a fluff tubby.

Juno was indignant that the other human in the house cupped him in plastic jail…

Juno the jumping spider in the bottom of the clear plastic cup held in my hand, looking straight at us with all his eyes. Actually looks cute.

Now I have to name it :)
Чоловік наполягає що я маю його назвати. При чому імена Павук та Василь забракував. Треба допомога спільноти :)

A close-up photograph of a jumping spider clinging to the mesh top of its terrarium. The spider has a black body with iridescent blue and green markings on its chelicerae. Its multiple eyes reflect light, and fine hairs cover its legs and body. The background is blurred, showing moss and branches inside the terrarium

Terrarium for Jumping Spider

Закінчила будувати тераріум для павука-стрибуна. Дівчина мого сина подарувала йому такого, і він мені так сподобався, що я вирішила завести собі теж. Правда, минулого разу в магазині мені відмовилися його продавати – було надто холодно. Ну що ж, спробую ще раз сьогодні. Хоча поки що не вирішила, який саме різновид вибрати

A completed terrarium sits on a wooden surface, designed for a jumping spider. The glass enclosure has a black frame and is filled with moss, branches, and other natural elements, creating a lush, miniature environment. A light is positioned on top, illuminating the terrarium. The background features a green wall and a wooden panel.

A workspace with materials for building a terrarium. On a wooden desk, there is a clear glass container with live terrarium moss soaking in water, a partially assembled black-framed glass terrarium, and a box labeled “The BioDude Live

So the bold jumper makes it's appearance at times in the house. The other day it was in the bathroom sink, fell down the drain.I found a string and got it hoisted out of the water it was floating in. Put in the sunny window sill. It came to life, proceeded to clean itself, or give me a thumbs up. Yesterday it was on the ceiling above me as I woke up. Today it strolled across the counter to where I was sitting and said hello I guess.

A cropped closeup photo of a black and gray jumping spider. It is a bit out of focus or just blurry. It is a bold jumper living the life as a house spider for the winter. It has just greeted the human 2 days after it was rescued from a sink drain.
