Zebra Spider - Salticus scenicus

Date Photographed: 22/06/2013
Location: Tower Road, Melksham
Resources: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/wildfacts/factfiles/350.shtml
Notes: This is a really small spider, around 5mm. It is noted for the ability to jump at prey and also, seemingly, its awareness of humans. I noticed that it raised up towards me a few times while I was taking these photos.
