13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Little Jumping Spider
A jumping spider, smaller than a chocolate chip, sits on a begonia flower petal. I did not travel far and wide, or to any remote corners of the Earth, to capture this photo. I actually took it in my hometown of Tewksbury, NJ, USA. Not glamorous, I know. But the reality is, some of the most magnificent and beautiful creatures can be found right in your own backyard.
