Macro Video of an Adult Male Platycryptus undatus Jumping Spider

A fairly common species in my area with beautiful orange facial markings. The music is an acoustic intrumental cover of the Bee Gee's "First of May"

I really hope these become established in culture over here, my female still seems to be going strong and has dropped an infertile sac :I

Do you mind if i put in a video responce of her?

Too bad about the sac!

Sure - go ahead and post a video response if you like.

He's beautiful. I have an adult female and I think she may be gravid. She's getting kind of fat and I haven't been feeding her too much. I think if I want anymore, I'll know who to PM. Hehe!

[terser]

This really was a beautiful specimen - his markings couldn't have been any more perfect.

What kind of camera or macro lens are you using to get that close?

[terser]

The video was taken with a Canon Powershot A720 IS - and the still at the end was taken with a Pentax K200D DSLR.
