Three’s Company

Here’s an action shot of three house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus). Two females and a mostly hidden male share a curved perch, with the foremost female blocking most of his red plumage from view.

Another female is just arriving, wings half‑spread as she hovers in place. She glances toward the camera with a cautious, judging look, as if deciding whether it’s safe to land. A moment later she settles on the opposite side of the male, effectively sandwiching him between herself and the perched female already in front.

Act like a jumping spider and jump for joy! Except, these tiny arachnids actually jump for something else: prey. True to their name, jumping spiders don’t use webs to catch their next meal. Instead, they leap—pouncing on their food. There are more than 6,000 known species of jumping spiders in the family Salticidae, like the Habronattus sansoni pictured here. They can be found on all of Earth’s continents, except Antarctica, and are recognizable thanks to their large, forward-facing eyes.
