# I made this.... \ oOOo / - WOO!!

EDIT: It's an adult male Pseudeuophrys lanigera ☺

Just looped a few frames from an HD macro video I shot on my phone of this little jumping spider.
I uploaded the full video to YouTube, I'll post the URL on the links board if anyone is interested in seeing the whole thing.

the zebra spider. salticus scenicus. they don't build webs. they are hunting spiders. if you ever meet one, check out their telescopic eye movements!

# It's not a Zebra Spider....
It didn't have the distinctive black & white chevrons and it wasn't the industrialised black version. I'm not sure which species it is, possibly Marpissa muscosa or Macaroeris diligens as they have similar markings and characteristics. I may have to email a photo to the British Arachnological Society to see if they can identify it.

apologies. my mistake. of course, i didn't get to see the abdomen - the genus must be in the same ball park from what i am seeing though. let me know the results from the spider society if possible. thanks

Sure I'll let you know, they've helped me identify a spider in the past and are usually quite quick to get back to you.

# I've received an email back from the British Arachnological Society.....
They believe it to be an adult male Pseudeuophrys lanigera. I was surprised that it was a fully grown specimen as it was so small. Here's their page on the spider - srs.britishspiders.org.uk/portal.php/p/Summary/s/Pseudeuophrys+lanigera

# HD macro video on your phone?
we truly live in the future.

Sadly a future where HD macro video phones cost about 10p and a loaf of bread a billion pounds mind you.

# Hi Rob
I wish it was 10p but I can be happy I didn't pay a loaf for it :3
