Salticidae, the family of jumping spiders, is the most species-rich family of spiders. Their extreme diversity and beauty can serve as an effective gateway to arachnid-acceptance and teaching the important role spiders play in ecosystems all over the world. In this presentation, Thomas Shahan will go over his approach to finding and photographing them, how they see, how they hunt, and more! Not only will the presentation be about his work with salticids, it'll be full of macro-photography advice applicable to anyone interested in close-up photography in the field!
