Hi all,

I found this little Green Jumping Spider (Mopsus mormon) in the process of moulting this morning. First time I've seen this, so it was nice to get a few images.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks very much everyone! It's certainly not something you see every day, so I was glad to have the camera close by!

Cheers,
Stephen

Lucky you, hardly ever find insects or spiders moulting. Great set.
