tags: Phidippus mystaceus, Jumping Spider, macro video, animal behavior, streaming video This macro video of an adult male Phidippus mystaceus Jumping Spider is really interesting. He does have an inordinate fondness for jumping onto the camera lens, though! Jumping spiders are my favorite types, although they do awaken my inner phobia at times.
