Fleecy jumper, Pseudeuophrys lanigera

Love this spider's common name. 'Lanigera' is a nod to the fleecy-looking hairs on the spider's abdomen. I was lucky enough to watch this 4mm male for around 10 minutes, seeing it jump and dangle from its invisible dropline. It was quite a tenacious specimen, charging at my camera at one point :D.
