I noticed a female yellow-lined jumping spider in my yard one afternoon. She was crawling around like a little thief on the Lantana flowers. I can't tell if she was shy or maybe she was sniffing something. At first, I only noticed her round eyes, but it didn't take long for her to reveal herself. She possessed a translucent body, and her eyes consistently shifted based on the colors she was looking at. She would sometimes let herself sink among the flowers, then emerge again. Aha! Her behavior was really like a thief! I giggled watching this little girl.

From the hiding place, I could still peek at something crouching there. Those marble eyes stared warily. It seemed reluctant to come out so I had to lure it with a gentle blow. The trick worked, and the little one slowly crawled out. Then a tiny black jumping spider with white spots appeared.

I often encounter hikers carrying heavy backpacks. I experienced this several times during my college years. If you don't carry anything, you won't survive. But that's not the case for this little girl. She's a strong hiker I met a while ago. She was carrying nothing but herself. I have no idea how far she's been. But I noticed she's still going strong.

I found these round molds during the rainy season last December. I was combing my friend's garden at that time and found a cluster of molds growing on a rotten log, which, of course, caught my attention and prompted me to capture them.

By now, I often encounter jumping spiders of various species during my walks in nature. Although it was not easy to photograph jumping spiders—especially those that are too small—with a good focal point, I still felt challenged to capture them.

During an afternoon walk around the mouth of the Cunda River, I noticed two hermit crabs with strange shells. No matter how heavy the shells were, they seemed happy with what they had. One was strong enough to carry a huge load, dragging its shell around everywhere, and so was the other.
