Don't look away, it's about 3mm long... #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCForCloseup The Sparkling northern jumping spider, whose name is as long as the spider is short, a beautiful iridescent spider. The second shot has a fingernail in it, for scale. #photography #arachnids #macro #gift #EastCoastKin

Cosmophasis micarioides, the sparkling northern jumping spider. It does sparkle, and the iridescence changes colour and intensity depending on the light source and angle, as you will see in subsequent shots. It's tiny, and jumps at the slightest provocation, so a difficult subject all around.Sparkling northern jumping spider. In this shot you can see a portion of a finger and fingernail, which gives you some idea of the spider's size. It's *tiny*.A different angle and this time under a leaf, where they often lurk. You can see the changing iridescence, a pink spot near the tail, and the green on the abdomen.Another angle again, showing the glowing blue at the top of the legs, and the bright pink spot near the tail.

Unfortunately I couldn't get closer. Short-toed snake eagle, Circaetus Gallicus. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCloseUp #italy #nature #birds

A short-toed snake eagle flying with wide open wings. Its feather are white and brown, that's why it's called Falco biancone in Italian, "white falcon".
