A jumping spider, Naphrys pulex (the flea jumper), in bronze and black glass. Astonishing animals, curious and intensely visual, so relatable yet so alien. I love them.

This is my second jumping spider sculpture; more views to come.

Here’s the view from underneath…he’s all business here! Part of the challenge for this sculpture was assembling the reference material to do him justice. #spider #ventral #sciart #bronze #sculpture #closeup
