I was raking leaves when this spider found me.  I just had to look at it under the Foldscope!

I made a video as I moved it under the scope but the video was too large to upload, so here is the link to YouTube:

This is from the Family Salticidae , I believe but there are more than 4000 species.  I have not narrowed it down beyond this I’m afraid.

The first four photos were taken with a jeweler’s loupe to show the whole spider and the size.
