19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
On The Spadix

Found this small jumping spider on a anthurium flower, during a field routing for macro photography at Elpitiya, Sri Lanka. I waited until it positioned on the spadix of that flower since I liked that pattern on the spadix. As I planed I could capture that tiny spider with the spadix patterns.
