Jumping spider

Jumping spider
Today, while doing some gardening, I found this little spider (about 1cm) on my equipment. I'm fairly sure it's a little jumping spider, but I've had trouble finding the scientific name for it. [UPDATE: I now have satisfied myself it's a jumping spider of the Opisthoncus sp.]. Since viewing the image on the computer, I notice it's missing a front right leg.

I was so pleased to read that it is just 1cm in size. That's big enough, especially if it jumps!!
Excellent shot though George.

Even if it has lost a leg it can still hop George. Amazing colours. I am with Rosa - they make me nervous! A terrific shot.

THESE LITTLE JUMPERS ARE SO ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR COLOUR TO MATCH UP WITH THEIR SURROUNDING IF NEEDS BE.

BUG EYED AND ONE LEGLESS !!!

The missing front leg doesn't detract from the adorableness
of this extremely efficient hunter. :)
However, their size of about one centimeter is also amazing.
In the region where I live, I find only much smaller specimens of this genus.
Terrific macro, George!

Very beautiful capture of this tiny spider caught against a contrasting background, George. Even lame in one leg, I am sure it is a fierce little hunter!

I'm definitely not keen on spiders, but this one is a really unusual colour, so I might make allowances! ;-))
I wonder if it's possible for the spider to regenerate a new leg?

I was curious from your question: www.peta.org.au/news/spider-regrows-legs

That's amazing!

A super shot..........I've been trying to get a decent shot of one of these for years without much success, so I'm not jealous at all>>!!

( If a spider is unfortunate enough to lose a leg, then provided it still has at least one more moult left in its life cycle it's able to grow a new leg. I don't know how many moults a small spider like this would have though ).

Wow, does he have 8 eyes?

He's beautiful. Wonderful image, George!

I noticed Amelia's question up above and got curious to know if spiders can regenerate new legs and found this: www.peta.org.au/news/spider-regrows-legs

Thanks for your comment and link, Karen. As far as I can tell, it has only six eyes, 4 across the front and one to each side further back. The markings are a bit deceptive. I've enlarged and cropped a shot so the head is clearer.

Great macro, George. Is that one of those Really Venomous Spiders in your part of the world?
