Ugly Overload normally focuses on ugly critters, but the face of this little guy won me over. He looks like he's smiling. Jumping spiders are really interesting and don't worry, they're too small to hurt you.
@srr and others who found the original photo. first of all, GREAT SLUETHING! second of all...i still think jumping spiders are cute. there's something rather endearing about them. check out other photos of jumping spiders and you'll see what i mean. i was in a cafe yesterday sitting next to a window and there was a little jumping spider crawling on the window. i'm sure the other patrons thought i was crazy 'cuz i started talking to the little fella! something about them makes them cute in a way that other spiders are not. read up on them too...they have INCREDIBLE telescopic vision. learning more about their biology and behavior makes them even more endearing and fascinating little predators.
Um. That's shopped, i think, But that's as far as i will go on this. I ran into one of these little guys on my upper cupboard door this morning when i went to make coffee. My guess is that he was looking for a bite to eat. When i came back to the pot to get a cup he was gone, but i did jet to see him jump between the cupboard and the wall before i walked away.
