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.
