Monomad Challenge || Hyllus semicupreus jumping spider.

My contribution to the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

What you find in my publication today is a jumping spider and if you often walk in an open environment, it is possible that you can easily find these spider species playing on the surface of plant leaves.

In the last few months, I have rarely come across close-up shots of this jumping spider because they are one of the spiders that are a little difficult to find in the plant environment, my identification is all because they are a species of insects that live in rotten wood environments and in the area of ​​dry bush leaves.

And they are carrion-eating insects that only come out of their nests astray to find food in the form of ants and other small insects and at the beginning of last year I once found this jumping spider which was preying on a butterfly that was quite large in size from its body and the level of intelligence it has looks so amazing, the insect paralyzes a butterfly that is larger than its growth by pounced on the butterfly's neck.

Jumping spider Hyllus semicupreus they have movements and jumps that are quite fast and the color texture they have is sometimes camouflage in nature which looks so stunning that sometimes even when they are in the environment of fallen leaves or dry driftwood., you can just miss them.

And when I found these insects in the bushes of my plantations yard, they looked so dashing with their growth posture which looked so cool and I took quite tricky opportunities to capture the details of their beauty in black and white close-up shots.

And the tricky thing that I encountered while shooting, these insects always take their stance to jump in front of my lens, so that all the detailed images that I can find in my publication today, some of them look like they are taking their stance to jump.
