Question regaring jumping spiders

Hello guys,

I've been into macro quite some time now and I really enjoy all the pictures that are getting posted on this forum.
Now I've seen several pictures with jumping spiders and I'm really fond of them.
While looking quite some time outside I found a spot where they find it quite pleasing, on a wall facing the sun.

I'm trying to get a decent shot but they are just to quick.
I'm shooting with a 100mm macro, should 1:1 magnification be enough? I allready tried with a 100mm + reversed 18-55 kit but the focus is just not do-able.

I would really like some tips are perhaps a small guide how to shoot these little spiders. I just can't seem to focus/shoot any.

Thank you in advance,

Frank

I've relocated them to other, more accessible surfaces before. Be aware though, they have a nasty bite. As I found out last week.

Jumpers will bite if they feel cornered. One bit my fingertip when I was trying to free it from a sticky web made by another spider. I guess the web closed off what would have been an escape route. The bite left a very local stinging sensation for a few hours, but no harm done.

Most of the time, they're good little subjects. They'll look at you (the camera) because they're curious.

Or maybe they're just keeping their eyes on you because they don't trust you?

1:1 might not be enough for those closeup shots where you can see their hair.

reversing a lens in front will make your work distance very small. get some tubes for the 100mm instead.
