Oh, wow. I actually caught one of these yesterday, but happened to let it go. What are you doing with it?

 

[Ratmosphere]

Possibly a breeding project.

 

[Ratmosphere]

Also, I want to get macro shots of them with my new camera! These are really hard to come by.

 

[charx53]

Well I caught some kind of jumping spider, not sure if exactly this one. But the eyes alike.

 

[charx53]

Very cool though!

 

[Ratmosphere]

If you ever come across one, let me know!

 

[Ratmosphere]

They like sandy, xeric areas.
