I finally got an opportunity to catch a better photo of a Jumping Spider

Yesterday while me and my father were in our car for our journey to the treatment center, I saw this jumping spider or whatever it is called, skipping along the edge of the door of my passenger side. So I just hurriedly took out my camera phot to get some close-up shot of it before it goes further away. So I took some shots of it and only posting this couple of decent ones here.

I am quite satisfied with my photos with this subject although I wanted to get a close-up macrophotography where there is a blur in the background to highlight the parts of the body or the whole body of this magnificent gifted spider. I said gifted because it has a quick movement, it jumps, and then it has four eyes! But I was only able to photograph this spider on a surface and not like it is perched to blade of grass perhaps so that I can be able to get that best photo where the body of this spider is well-focused with a bokeh effect but regardless, the picture went OK anyway.

When you look at it from above, the said eyes seems to look at your from below which is why I think it helps it to avoid predators so it can live and contribute to the ecosystem by controlling the population of other insects.

A long time ago I had seen other species of big spiders, but unlike this species it makes its web on power cables and I don't know what it is supposed to hunt with its big web spun across the distance between the two live high tension electric cables but the said big spider was interesting to look at and we call them locally as "Gagambang Kuryente" or electric spiders although they do not have electricity but was called that because they make their web between electric cables. Now I do not see them anymore around but I am sure that they still exists in other places.

Well anyway I told myself that I do want to make photos of small creatures like this jumping spider but it turned out to be not as easy as I was expecting because it is only by chance more often that I get an opportunity to take a macro shot of them like this particular beautiful spider. I do not know what this species has no bigger type because it would be more interesting if there will be one like in the case of the "regular" spiders but that is how it is.

Our backyard can never attract insects because it has not flowers in it nor a vegetable that harbors insects like grasshoppers, ladybugs, or that red bug that are always seen on okra plants so I have no way of capturing the images of the said insects but only when given a rare opportunity to do so.

It just suck to have a mobility issue because I cannot explore the beauty of my village or at least its greener parts like near or along the pristine river and along the irrigation canal where there are a lot of trees and grasses where creatures not only insects are living. But I will try not to stress myself about it and just wait for anything to cross my path with my camera on hand and the share it on this platform.
