PS; how on earth do you get jumping spiders to stay still? I can only ever find them on boring brick or concrete walls and they leg it as soon as I get anywhere near

Get a Sigma EX DG 180mm Macro lens, you don't have to get too close.

And your 'Nick" isn't helping matters also,I presume.

Cracking shot Clarky, but everyones talking rubbish your original post needs cropping on the left your second posting leaves to much space above the subject, plus it looks like youve left a dirty mark from the sensor showing

Its not a dirty sensor, I thought the same when i first saw it but checking other shots it wasn't there.
I should clone it out though.

I have a large bushy tree in my yard and it has dozens of Jumping and Lynx spiders in it. I call it my Jumping spider tree, as you would.

I must say that first shot is amazing. A lot of emotion portrayed, yes it is anthropomorphic but the whole scene is really good.

Spider:
"I don't want to come out... It is is scary out there"

So cute!
