Insects and Spiders

Common Hentz Jumper

Found a new species of jumping spider and it was tiny. This is a male & his front legs are supersized to catch prey. Jumpers are curious and friendly and not aggressive. Won't bite unless they feel threatened. This one jumped on my friend's hand so made for easy photography.
