Monomad: King of the Mangrove

in #hive-1421598 days ago

I spotted this jumper in the mangrove yesterday afternoon. That is a male Hyllus diardi: the king of jumping spiders. I thought it was a rare opportunity to find a Hyllus jumper in the mangrove, just not at the right time. The sky had darkened, so there was less light. But opportunities don't always come around. It seemed like he came to me on purpose, so I shouldn't waste the rare opportunity to meet the king.
