This is a jumping spider (Salticidae sp.) that I caught in my yard. The little jumper has clear brown eyes like tea, a translucent yellow head and legs, and a fat, copper-brown belly. He crawled over a dry twig, repeatedly turning around as if he had discovered a cul-de-sac. As if a baby had just learned to crawl, I watched the jumper's movements with excitement and amusement.
