I caught some spiders at the park and decided to keep them and start a journal on them. The first is a spitting spider (at least I think so) and the second is a jumping spider. Pics:

The jumping spider has spun a small web at the top but the spitting spider doesn’t want to, but the spitting spider is eating and drinking more than the jumping spider.

can't tell you what jumper you have with that image.  you're gonna want to remove it from the vial and put it in a larger container with cross ventilation and room to wander about.  4oz deli cups are great.

Ill try to get a picture of the spider. But since the spider is fast i don't want it to escape so I'm just going to take the best pic i can in the test tube.

I hope these are sufficient. I still need to buy some macro lens.
