Greetings,
Captured this with ring flash attached. I think can be an idea for car headlights design. I have no idea what spider is this. If anyone ID it will be great. Enjoy...

Nice picture. Looks to be a jumping spider but I don't know which species.

Nice catch George. It might be a jumping spider, but it also has an uncanny resemblance to a Meercat they are always showing on TV these days. :)

Gorgeous, and incredibly creepy. It almost looks like it's sneaking up on you!

Greetings,
Thanks for all your nice compliments. I feel that the ring flash makes the catch lights in its eyes look more spooky than natural. Probably need to play around with other type of flash technique. Thanks. Enjoy...
