Monomad: Phintella Jumper

I found the Phintella jumper spider while walking in the woods last January. Phintella is a genus of small jumping spiders often found in vegetation such as bushes and weeds; the species are distributed worldwide. It has a dark face covered in golden hairs and a pair of bright pedipalps. I noticed that it always covers its jaws with its pedipalps, as if it were insecure about its black jaws. In my opinion, those jaws look cool rather than ugly.

"Sorry, it's not what you think! I always brush my teeth to keep them shiny!" The jumper interrupted me at that moment.
