Do you ever feel like you’re being watched?

Don’t worry, it’s probably just a Jumping Spider.

The eyesight on these little guys never ceases to amaze me. While photographing this one today, it was highly attuned to my every movement – often scampering to the other side of the leaf if I moved too suddenly, before slowly peeking its head out to check if the coast was clear.
