A spectacular female jumper

Hi all,

Here is a mature female Sparkling Northern Jumping Spider (Cosmophasis micarioides) that I found today. They are a spectacular species, but they don't sit still for long so they are a challenge to photograph!

Canon EOS 6D • Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM @100mm • 1/160 • f/11 • ISO 400
