I have a funny looking spider living on my balcony, which I managed to get a pic of this afternoon. The funny thing about it, is that it does not walk anywhere...It hops. After zooming in on it, it actually looks very cute.
Here is a pic of it for your enjoyment. Though I would be intrested in know what type of spider it is.



It does not look like pics are uploading properly, so I will upload it to a server just in case.

Looks like this spider:

ZEBRA SPIDER.

Zebra spiders are often noted for their 'curiosity' when observed, many seem aware of their audience and seem to respond by raising their head and looking back at the person. This spider uses its four pairs of large eyes to locate prey and it's jumping ability to pounce and capture it

Mike why did you omit the "and inject vast amounts of poison after capture and as normally fatal even to the average human" lol............

Reproduction

When these spiders meet, the male carries out a courtship dance involving waving his front legs and moving his abdomen up and down. The better the dance the more likely the female will want to mate, although arachnologists have yet to discover what it is the female looks for in a mating dance. Despite their good eyesight, males will sometimes accidentally perform a mating dance in front of another male. When this happens the two males usually fight. Males will also perform courtship dances in front of their own reflection in a mirror.

Or make leeeerve you decide.

pretty easy way for a spider just flap yerr arms and shake yer arse and yee got yeself a girlfriend

[aaamusements]

Aye but usually she eats you afterwards if you are a spider.

Bonus!

Oh... not the good kind of eating...
