. . . . . . . .

This is the smallest spider I have ever seen . . found it around my stack of books . .

As usual, I put it in the freezer for very short time . . to become unconscious . . then put it on the glass table . .

I observed there are kind of 4 eyes in front . . but there are other 2 at the top back part . .

I should later find out at Wikipedia about this spider . .

Thank you for viewing it . .

Cheers,
TJutjut

Hi Tjutjut,
It's beautiful in its ugliness :))) To have eyes all it tower of the head, it's the expression which comes me to the idea :)) Very excellent macro shot. The details are really clear. Excellent. Thanks
Regards
Diane

Hello Tjutjut!
Great detail and beautiful macro of this spider!
Nice black background!
Good perspective!
Best regards!
Lili

That freezer tip really is excellent, Tjutjut.

Again, you have produced an excellent macro shot - details and sharpness are very good indeed, nothing more to say - except that you are braver than me :-)

Hi dear friend,
actually I think they are eight :)
Great close up with wonderful details.
Nice to meet your fellow :)))
Best wishes,
Ioana

ps: Spiders usually have eight eyes in various arrangements, a fact which is used to aid in taxonomically classifying different species. Most species of the Haplogynae have six eyes, although some have eight (Plectreuridae), four (eg., Tetrablemma) or even two (most Caponiidae) eyes. Sometimes one pair of eyes is better developed than the rest, or even, in some cave species, there are no eyes at all. Several families of hunting spiders, such as jumping spiders and wolf spiders, have fair to excellent vision. The main pair of eyes in jumping spiders even see in color.

Hello Tjutjut.
Looks great and very well presented with good detalis on the black background. I cannot show it to my wife! :)
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tjutjut. Your 65mmFL captured this little one is super sharp texture. Stunt but those many eyes are really amazing. I like the darkened background on the glass table to capture this brilliant macro. Can't help you with the ID but I'm sure someone here will. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

Hi Tjutjut,
I have a phobia of the spiders! Also, just to look at your photograph gives me the goosepimples! ;) The details on its legs are so fine and its multiple eyes seems searching me! Brrrr)
Bravo, I admire your courage! Annie

Hi Tjutjut :)

Fantastic macro ! You put it in freezer ? Good idea, i would never think doing such a thing.
So, i hate spiders ... more particularly i'm afraid of them :/
You're rignt, we can see 2 other eyes on top ... are the 4 points really eyes ? Maybe. TFS

Take care my dear friend

hi tjutjut! To freeze a little time is a curious technical, very appropiated. I think I can use this to take picture of insect. Thank for the note, and for the picture of course!
