Skunk-like Jumping Spider

The Skunk-like Jumping spider
 There are a wide variety of Jumping Spiders. One of them has black with white stripes, the patterns resembles a skunk but it looks just like other jumping spiders: flat head and multiple eyes of which 2 are very prominent. It isn't called "Skunk-Like". First thought that came to my mind when I observed it through the eyepiece was a skunk. Hence, the name.
Sorry about the annoying black arc in the right side of the photo, it is the eyepiece.

All Jumping Spiders make an attempt to Jump at my Eyepiece, Like this one:

They have a drop of curiosity in their eyes which makes the spider- a minuscule insect- look like a playful pet; it is not, it just seems like it. The action of cleaning its legs, resembles the brown jumping spider a lot.

I hope you liked my short encounter with the spider. Now that you have seen it through the magical eyepiece, hopefully you have a different perception about the spiders too. Thanks for reading! Share and comment!
