Ken, don't tell me this one also gives you the creeps! Isn't she cute? It is a Marpissa muscosa. Lives on tree bark. has a good camouflage for that.

Beautiful captures, Wim!
But I'm not so sure that Ken can be sold on these things -- not after I posted about the "dark side" of jumpers.
What sort of mouthparts is this little beauty hiding behind those delicate palps, anyway?

Hairy gal, isn't she? Very good job in capturing a very small subject (which is very tough to do).
