.....Found this really cool little jumping spider ....he looks so much like a Viking ...I named him "Thor" ...they rely on sight and stalk their prey ....then they jump pretty far at the last second (up to 50 times their own length) ...their fangs lie at the tips of those green things ...they are venomous but not to humans.
Tiny...did i say tiny?.....Commonly referred to as the Daring Jumping Spider, or Bold Jumping Spider.

Great capture! You are courageous. The photo is taken from below. Is it staying on a glass or something ?

Thank you very much Hopeonly ...!!! They are naturally pretty docile, so, i just sat him on my lens...and started shooting! This is the moment he jumped! ...and as far as arachnids go, the Bold Jumping Spider is one of the most intelligent, and they adapt quickly to virtual realities.
