I wouldn't say I love spiders, but they do fascinate me. And I find jumping spiders particularly fascinating.

Not only can they jump more than 50 times their own body length, but jumping spiders have the best eyesight of any spider.

They need great vision to help them find their prey and to be able to accurately work out how far they need to pounce to catch that prey! If you've ever been up close to one you might have noticed four beady eyes looking straight back at you.

So, forget for a moment that spiders probably aren't really 'your thing' and marvel at the detail that's been captured in this photo by Jeroen Stel of a jumping spider's eyes.
