Bold Jumper

[Fly Fishing Rick]

I've seen and photographed quite a few different individuals from this species and this is the first one I've ever seen with blue chelicerae, they're almost always some shade of green/emerald. At first glance I was almost certain they were feeding on a blue fly because of that intense color haha. This photo isn't staged in any way, they live somewhere right around there because I've seen them sitting there before, this was just the first time they let me get close enough. I welcome any critique or constructive criticisms and I hope y'all like it.

Thanks! I'm actually kind of afraid of spiders believe it or not haha. I do think they are fascinating and the jumpers are especially alert and aware of their surroundings and very photogenic, they are fun subjects for sure.
