Wonderful captures - wonder why male jumping spiders have large chelicera rather than enlarged pedipalps the other male spiders have ?

Brian's post just answered my question. . . wow, is that reeally a jumper?
Looks like he's half swallowed a bug and just got the back half to go?
Imagine Mr's jumper trying to kiss this bloke. . .

Great pics Kurt. Seems like you had him quite excited the way he's waving his arms around. . .

Thanks, Bruce

I still don't know they do that...ie. waving its pedipalps as if covering its nose/eyes

Perhaps it is to counter the downward swing of those huge chelicerae, as when we swing our arms when walking?

Thanks Pete. Think the mimicry could be for both predation and survivor?
