I took this photo of a male jumping spider (Phidippus audax) a few months ago and thought it wasn't good enough to post. I'm still unhappy with the quality of the image, but since posting it last night in the comments to "Misty morning in the garden" it seems that others think it's not such a bad photo after all. This little jumper just might hold the cure for arachnophobia.
