You make it easier - Monomad challenge

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes



I did mention how most of the time taking photos of small creatures can be quite challenging before more often they will run away from you when you try to approach them. Of course my size, and the enormous flash diffuser that I have played the most part in scaring them away.

But when you get lucky, some of those species will just stand still and let you take as many photos as you like. the bravest ones are usually jumping spiders, because they might just hop into your diffuser or lens, and very often they will also just into your hand.

This gives you all the advantage of getting as many photos as you want, and then you could also turn your hand or fingers to get the desired angle that you want for the jumping spider. I know that some other photographers are lucky since other species also want to rest on their hands or fingers like butterflies dragonflies, or a few other animals.

And in this case today, I have this small jumping spider, which is most likely from the Cosmophasis genus who has no care for its safety and decided to jump to my hand and check out myself, maybe it wants to try to suck the liquid inside of me, like how they do it for its prey. hahah

You can see the size comparison with my nail, I think it was my thumbnail. not very big in size, but like the other spider, has great use as the natural pest controller around the house, by catching flies, or mosquitoes or other pests in my garden.
