The caster's side

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Jumping spider

Came across this beautiful and tiny jumping spider hopping from one branch to another, of a plant, in the middle of the pathway. The curious one kept on moving along this branch looking out for a way, probably to jump off to another plant, and hence waited at the edge and froze itself to this position. Later I realized it was casting the web, not seen in this frame, at that moment, in the air just to glide off the plant.

Looks different. It is quite nicely camouflaged with the dry leaves of the plant. Slight more space on the left would have been nice, than the present central framing. Thanks for sharing.
