Bouncy drop-in

I looked up from the desk and there he was, sitting on a leaf of the dragon tree.

Jumping spider, unidentified as yet.

Side view.

Looks like he's a male, by the big, fuzzy boxing gloves he wears.

UPDATE: Evarcha sp.,  possibly  Evarcha proszynskii.

I got too close and he jumped to another leaf, bounced away, disappeared.

Photos taken with my pocket camera; noisy, but good for getting in close.

Realized too late: I need to dust my plants.

Vi esta arañita en una planta al lado de mi escritorio. Una araña saltarina que no he podido identificar hasta ahora. Parece ser macho, por los "guantes de  boxeo" que lleva.

Me acerqué demasiado, y saltó, volvió a saltar, y desapareció.

Saqué las fotos con la cámara de bolsillo, que produce fotos con mucho ruido, pero me permite acercarme, evitando las muchas hojas de la planta.

Me di cuenta después, muy tarde, que necesito sacudir las hojas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
