This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes
Finally, I had the chance to take a photo of this lovely jumping spider, so far this is the biggest species of jumping spider that I have encountered. Although this is not the first time I have seen a jumping spider from this genus, this is the first time I managed to take photos. On the first encounter,r I saw it when I didn't bring my camera, and when I was back with my camera, the jumping spider was already gone.
But the second on which I managed to take the photos, it was running around one of the ornamental plant at my parent's house. I was a little bit surprised to see this guy there, but I won't miss the chance again, so I get so many photos of this jumping spider and then I want to share it with all of you now.
Hyllus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most species occur in Africa and Madagascar, with many in Australasia and north to India. Such an interesting fact about his jumping spider. although they are not native to Indonesia or Bali, it is nice to see them here in Bali, adding more diversity to the fauna that live here in Bali.
What I like about this spider is the eyelash that it has. I think most of the women will enjoy the curl of the eyelashes of this spider, so it is perfect to attract any male. : )
But for those who are afraid of spider, maybe the size and also the hair that this guy has might already scare you, and make you scream, or want to whack them off. hahah
