Found it not with my plants, but on the balcony. He hopped on to my finger and looked at what this huge creature was! Who is this little chap?

Nice photo Dinu!

It's one of the Jumping spiders, family Salticidae. I'm not sure which one however.

It jumped in fact. Let's see if someone else knows exactly where it belongs.

Thanks for the link wallaby, I'll surely dig into it in due courrse.

sjweld,
Don't worry, they seem to be friendly and they look at you! Probably they feel the warmth of our skin, like the preying mantis.

Spider Man is one of my favourite comic strips. It comes in the local paper everyday and I never miss it. Had seen the movie also.

Dinu, you take the best photos!! I think the jumping spiders are cute. We have lots of them here, but I don't know their names. Hope you get the IDs you seek.
