Jumping spiders

The largest spider family is Salticidae, the "jumping spiders". They have excellent eyesight and are know for their leaping abilities. Jumping spiders are also my favorite to photograph. They often look right at the camera, they have cute fuzzy pedipalps that they often hold up like "mustaches" and big shiny eyes.
