Son of Fedor (Female Zebra Spider, Salticus scenicus)

Ooh, I caught Son of Fedor in the last of the light today! The sun was retreating behind my wall here, and only the top surface of the wall, and Son of Fedor, were in the light.

I think Son of Fedor is a Zebra Spider. Tiny little jumping spider, just a few millimeters long.

Thanks to MACRO Polo on the BBC Springwatch group for helping to ID these spiders. This indeed is a Zebra jumping spider, or Salticus scenicus. Judging from the male/female photos on flickr, I think Son of Fedor is a female.
