Jumping spiders are "macro stars" and I'm liking them more and more. One reason is that they are small, so small that the average person cannot see them. On the blade of grass, a small black spot flashed and disappeared, who would care? The jumping spider is very timid and alert. When my camera is close to it, it first retreats; if it gets closer, it will turn under the leaf; Jump to another leaf, or jump directly to the ground. Although jumping spiders do not tie webs to hunt, they still drag a spider silk to protect themselves, just like the safety rope tied around the waist of an acrobat performing high-altitude performances—what if they jumped into the air? I didn't see them before, and I always thought the people who took pictures were lucky. Later, I also practiced some eyesight, only to find that there are a lot of them, there are them around, and they are very close. The key is after seeing it, don't worry, approach slowly and let it accept you until it treats you as a part of nature, like a 1.73-meter tree with no leaves. its back to you? It's okay, it's active and turns around in a moment. Of course, they can be macro stars, not only because of their small size, but also because of their large eyes. Common spiders have small eyes, such as cat spiders. When they are photographed, they are just a few black spots, and the eye sockets cannot be seen, let alone the pupils. Compared to them, jumping spiders have four disproportionately large eyes in front, shining brightly like the headlights of a car. Take a good look at it, it's amazing.
