Jumping Spider staying dry under an open-mesh web

            Here are two shots of a little Jumping Spider (Salticidae) staying dry under an open-mesh web in the Oregon woods.  The spider is hard to see in the shot on the left which I got while it was raining, but look in the center towards the top.  I got the shot on the right on the next day when the rain had stopped.  The spider looks quite dry under its webbing, a testament to the power of surface tension.  I don't think of these spiders spinning webs, but here it is.  This spider is among the needles on a branch of a Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinaceae) sapling in the Oregon woods.  After I noticed this one, I found several more doing the same thing.  The spider in my [Previous] photo has more deluxe accommodations.  Happy Web Webnesday!  (Near Susan Creek, North Umpqua River, Oregon, 8 September 2019)
