A little salti

[Graham]

Hi all,
I found this little jumping spider on a old tree stump, I'm not sure of the species, just it's a salticidae.
Proper name is :- Philaeus Chrysops, Female.
Thanks for looking.
Also available to view on my Flickr.

Cheers,
They really are very cute and very curious things and so many different ones around the world.
It's good when the focus is spot on on the eyes.

Yes, the eyes are the window to a very intelligent little creature from what I've noticed.
