Insects and Spiders

Nyah, Nyah, You Can't Catch Me

Saw this cute jumping spider on my deck post & ran to get my camera. Came back & for some reason it started running. Normally they stay put & you can get very cute face shots. This one was having none of that. It ran across the post, paused 1 split second to look back at me as though taunting me, then jumped off, landed on the ground & disappeared into the underbrush. Sometimes I forget they do call them "jumping" spiders.
