Philaeus Chrysops

In fact, it has always been difficult to work with a bouncing spider. It bounces on its name and you cannot anticipate its sudden wonders, so its work is not always a compatible model.

But their cuteness and color always fascinate me. The awareness of your existence is another matter. This kind of vine leaves or red cremite likes to be. It is not an unexpected result if you look at the colors. I wanted to shoot it in a brush bush (Callistemon rigidus) first but it did not look good, moreover it disappeared in the red of the flower and the room did not like it very much. He started to pose as comfortably as he was at his own home. I think it was important that the background was white, so both sizing and contrast were achieved.

Philaeus chrysops is a spider species from the Salticidae family. The "chrysops" ('golden eye') epithet in the Latin science name is given due to its red (or orange) eye-shaped pattern, the inside of the opistosoma (abdomen) region in men.

Length length 7–12 mm. Males are usually 5 mm long. Prosoma glossy black. Pedipals are remarkably covered with white hairs. The eyes are surrounded by white hairs. I. and II. tibia and metatarsus of the walking legs are covered with reddish brown hairs, III. and IV. the tibia and metatarsus of the legs are yellowish brown, other segments are covered with whitish or light hairs. There is a longitudinal black band in the middle of the opistosoma bright red dorsum, this band gradually narrows towards the back end. The male palpal organ tibial apophysis is thorn-shaped, and the ampoule median apophysis has prominent flagella.

It is found on stone, rock and brick piles. It is also possible to come across woody plant leaves close to the ground. It is a type that prefers hot localities.
