These are only 3mm in size and are amazingly beautiful spiders and are such integral part of a grassland eco-system. their numbers totally go down during the monsoon-flooding season and during the dry season it springs up.. I love jumping spiders and its such a pleasure to photograph one in their habitat..

Vivid green setting, striking capture of the spider's eyes.

Beautiful detail and color, and just the right amount of DOF. Nicely done!
