Monomad: Gorgeous Hairy Jumper

I caught a beautiful jumping spider on a rotten coconut trunk. Either scared or shy, she crept slowly from side to side as my face approached. The female Hyllus jumping spider was adorable and hairy. She had beautiful, curly eyelashes. The left and right ones resembled horns. Her jaws were barely visible because they were covered by thick whiskers. I considered adopting her as a pet, but I decided against it because she would be better off in the wild.

I have never seen a spider so hairy and pretty before, is even more prettier in black and white, the shot is clear and smart.
Thanks for sharing.
My warm regards.
