A jumping spider with an arty dance focus stack

Today while photographing a huntsman spider (added to @griffjg 's thread) I saw a little jumping spider on a bed-sheet. They are incredibly cute and wave their front legs and palps around in a very communicative fashion. I was using focus stacking mainly to move the focus around in the hope of getting some sharp eyes - my stacks are always disappointing - but one of the sets generated an interesting impression of the dance and movement of the spider. The spider is about 1cm long.
Some of the species are incredibly colourful (peacock spiders). Mine was plane brown but entertaining as it waved and danced.

Spiders usually give me the creeps but I do like pictures of Jumping Spiders.

Don't you have any cute little house residents such as mice in your corner of the world?

Ants, mozzies, cockroaches, flies and the occasional mouse.
