Very nice shots. I especially like the second one.
Thank you! It was one I had to look at for a second.

Drainpipe,
Incredible shots.
How do you get your friend to stay still pose long enough to photograph?
You have a knack with creatures!

Thank you! To be honest I just try to be as calm as I can with them, and the feeling seems to sometimes be mutual ;D

That was my thought - I sometimes see one of these in my office, and it is an Olympian in speed related to body length. I assume it lives off the ants that have been making their way indoors. I can understand getting a nectarivore to sit and graze on a sugar drop on your finger, but these jumping spiders want 6-legged meat.
That is very true. With jumpers they’re constantly looking for the next place to jump, so you have to take opportunity when it comes.

Blows me away. Any tips?

Slow and steady for jumpers. They can be exhausting when they’re trying to find their next spot to jump. Sometimes I don’t even get a good shot with them, so I have to take a lot. I guess my tips would be to have a lot of patience and even more persistence.
