Amber Brentnall, Trying to be inconspicuous (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

Australia is home to some of the most amazing native fauna in the world, and this tiny but mighty jumping spider is one of them. This little lady was trying to hide among the violet leaves, however her shadow clearly gave her away. If you observe them closely, they can be quite adorable and comical, particularly when you see them tuck their silk thread underneath their body before they jump and then, just like a bungy jumper, jump with gusto into the air, and land with absolute precision onto their target.
