Just because it's Monday morning and it's raining in the middle of January and there is no snow to speak off... As a diversion to this somber mood, I thought I'd share some great photos of jumping spiders.

Enjoy,

But don't you want to see one jump?

Awesome! Thanks!!

Sweet!

That's pretty cool, Oeno, and somehow seems counterintuitive to me. I had thought that all those eyes were used to create a stereoscopic effect and would be the main way a spider would achieve depth perception. Go figure that actual research trumps my guess.
