The jumping spiders seem to have vanished recently (I think due to wasps moving in), but I managed to find a couple the other day. This one is the same species as the female I have sitting on a bunch of eggs (which incidentally I think are starting to hatch). I figured I'd try the fluorescence photography again...

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM with Yellow 12 Filter and unknown extension tubes, 1/120 sec at f/5. Image Stabilization on. ISO 800. Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash in auto mode and special fluorescence excitation filter. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

I may have to look into a second flash with filter to increase the light output to make this kind of photography a bit easier and allow me to increase the depth of field (f/5 just is a bit too shallow).
