Phidippus Audax jumping spider I found from a rotten branch that fell from a tree. It was cold outside, so I took the spider home with me so it wouldn't freeze to death.

  • What kind of camera do you use? All of your videos look amazing!

  • @spungebobskuarepants Panasonic HDC HS700. In the macro videos I also have a Raynox DCR 250 Macro Conversion Lens attached to get the high magnifications on the spiders.

  • Avid little fella aint he !

    Very curious species at that, the camera shake is getting less each time, i need a new tripod !!

    keep the video going mate, winter soon and won't see these for a while at a guess..

  • @GameGlitcher94 This was actually done without a tripod. I had to keep my camcorder at surface level with this spider. He/she always gets so scared when I have it up higher from the floor or whatever else I have him/her on. I guess the spider feels like its becoming lunch. If I have the camcorder low, the spider always seems more comfortable with me.

  • That was really sweet of you to bring it home out of the cold. what a cutie!

  • @LuvMyBirdies It went down into the low 20's that night after I found her that evening. When the branch fell and exposed her to the elements that evening, I had a feeling he/she wouldn't have found a new place to hybrinate. I love the little jumpers, so the spider can spend the winter in my apartment. The wind was blowing so hard I almost lost the spider when it blew him/her off my hand.
