Just a moment before the hair raising jump

ID: Jumping spider (specific id help appreciated)

Spotted this beauty while traversing thru the trail, almost motionless on the tip of the twig, well blending in with the overall ambience. But by the time I started returning came crossed the spot, the cute predator seemed to have become more active, probably due to the sun’s heat that energized it in the winter morning, and looked as if it was enchanted with the lens that was pointing towards it, attempting to hop onto it every time I tried to frame the beauty. The frontal, almost spiky, hair seemed very interesting and brought in a very unique character to the eight legged predator.

The eyes look amazing. The reflection of the flash can be seen in all four :). The spiky hair(?), is it hair or kind of for protection? Thanks for sharing.
