Metallic Jumping Spider in Moss, Jumping spider (Evarcha arcuata), Purbeck, Dorset, England

‘The metallic jumping spider is a heathland specialist, hunting its prey in the heather jungle of its environment. The tiny moss plants tower above the spider in this photo, emphasising the small physical size of the spider, though – like all jumpers, with their big central pair of eyes and innate curiosity – they are big in terms of character. Like a lot of macro work in the field, I was on my belly to get the animal’s perspective, but it was worth it for the eyeball-to-eyeballs view’
