Jumping spider on autumn leaf

Do you like the bright colors of fallen autumn leaves, even when they have suffered some bug damage and are not pristine?

Do you like spiders? Aren't they fascinating creatures, seen in detail, close up?

No?

Well, in case you don't like to view spider photos, here's your chance to skip this post instead of looking at the picture below. It's a jumping spider, with a bit of golden silk.

The red portions of the leaf were the most strongly saturated color that I've seen on a leaf lately. I would guess that the intensity increased after it fell from the tree and continued to dry out.

Enjoy!
