3/366: Darling Jumping Spider

I used to be terrified of spiders, but when I realized they were more afraid of me, I became curious about this much-maligned creature.

This little guy is a jumping spider, and they are inquisitive, bold arachnids that can leap a surprisingly long distance! These are my favorite type of spider and can be found all over the world!

A wonderful macro, Janet. I live in a country where it pays to be fearful of spiders … Their being "frightened of me" doesn't make them hurt me any less.

Well stated!! Here we have the extremely dangerous but very timid Black Widow, but there are plenty of spiders which are not so fearful and at least as dangerous! We learn to NEVER reach any extremity into a dark place (shoe, closet, etc)...when one uses a flashlight to investigate, it can come as a frightening surprise to discover more than one dangerous spider (or other creature) lurking there! EEP!!
