Hairy Giant

As the exploration of the miniature world continues there are some finds that excite me more than others. This jumping spider is from the family Hyllus the largest of the jumping spiders. I find it cool that this spider is so hairy almost woolly, and yet it was well over 35 degrees Celsius when I photographed it hunting in the undergrowth of the coastal leaf litter.

Balance

A Chameleon balances masterfully on the edge of a swaying papaya leaf in the breeze. As if a metaphor for the struggles in life to achieve such balance is a dream for many.

Peek a Boo

An Adanson's jumping spider watches me through the lens. Jumping spider when they cooperate are such great subjects for macro photography. I find they have such character and their large forward pointing eyes transmit their curiosity.
