Hi,

Does anyone recognise this spider that I snapped while it was sitting on a Cistus flower enjoying a meal. The photo was taken on the summit of Mount Solaro, Capri on 3rd June 2010.

Many thanks,

Hi, Steve!

Nice Philaeus chrysops male (jumping spider, Salticidae).

Many thanks to Paul and Juergen.

I'm not sure why I couldn't see the image on my original posting as it is quite plainly there now.
