Last of the current #jumpingSpiders for #spiderSaturday - those Salticus sp. from last weekend's wall safari...

(At some point the weather will warm up again for more bug action! It's currently raining.)

For #spiderSaturday (which is apparently a thing) - more Salticus sp. photos from last weekend's wall safari.

(From the 'like' counts, people like these little things even more than bees! And vastly more than other spiders eating bees. Ahem.)

... and something a bit more cuddly from today's wall safari - jumping spiders!

Three different Salticus sp. - including one looking smug for having navigated across a significant gap, climbing to the top of a wooden gate, then back down to cross a metal hook. They're clever little beasts:

Lastly, a *tiny* little spider - a couple of millimetres long at most. Possibly a jumping spider?

From yesterday: all species I've really only found on/immediately near those tall pine trees with red bark. The pretty yellow/gold/silver jumping spider _Eris floridana_; a tiny _Admestina_ jumping spider with a flattened, speckled body; and a mite from the family Erythracaridae (I'm calling it, I feel pretty sure).

I have found these even in rather bare, shabby, pissed-in areas that get a lot of human foot traffic, normally not a great place to find bugs!

Another kind of arachnid that seems to like the pine trees are opilionids, in the fall when they get big and mate.

Get ready for maximum spider cuteness.

Went down to the lake today and found several zebra jumping spiders (_Salticus scenicus_) feasting on the midges (_Chironomus_ sp.) that are beginning to emerge!

⚠️ WARNING: first pic in particular is alarmingly cute, prepare yourself
