A jumping spider (Salticidae) peering over a grass blade in Argentina.
I couldn’t think of any Thanksgiving related insects (poultry lice might be appropriate but I don’t have any pictures and they don’t exactly make me hungry for turkey) so instead here’s a close up of a jumping spider from Argentina. I figured it worked for Halloween, so why not?
This fellow’s keeping a wary eye on the camera since I had just startled him out of his refuge and chased him up and down the grass blade trying to get a shot of him. Bugs love me. I’ve talked about jumping spiders a couple times before so if you’re overwhelmed with a need to know more about these little guys you are in luck! Otherwise, go eat some turkey!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Salticids: They have looks and charisma. They demand to be adored, and you’ve captured that perfectly.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
I did, and same to you. 🙂
I think jumping spiders may be my favorite arachnid. But then again, when people ask me about my favorite bug I start naming everything that pops into my head and the list gets quite long. They’re all so different I can’t choose.
Jumping spiders are awesome.
I think so, too. 🙂
