The following jumping spiders were photographed in the Metro-Detroit area.  Species are labeled, if known.  If you know the scientific names of any of the spiders on my page, please e-mail me at kozmic3@yahoo.com.  Photographs are sorted so that most recent photos are at the top of the page.  Other types of spiders can be seen on my Orb-Weavers and Miscellaneous Spiders Pages.

Spiders #27 and 29, "Tufts" and "Mr. Greenfangs"

Ok, so I can't get enough of these two.  Here they are photographed on my orchid (the first bloom since I bought it last year) on April 29, 2008.  I managed to photograph the underside of a jumping spider for the first time ever (he was climbing up one of his silk threads at the time and just reached the top of the petal when I got the photo).  There are more photos of just the orchid here.

Spider #27 --- "Tufts", possibly Phidippus clarus

Although Tufts is one of my spider friends from last year (click here for photos of her from July 2007), I figured I should do at least one more photo shoot before she passes away, as she is my second most favorite spider ever, next to the unforgettable Biglegs.  I photographed her on March 22, 2008, and even made a couple animations from her pictures...

 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

       

     

     

 

Spider #29 --- "Mr. Greenfangs", Phidippus audax

This spider has been my little friend since last August or so.  I photographed him a second time on March 22, 2008.  Click here to see his first photo shoot.
