A Jasper Dandy

Yet another entry of the kind: Jumping spider with the eyes of jasper. He is a stylish little fellow, and, obviously, a ladies' man, so to speak. His colorful appearance gets even more striking with the eyes of red jasper. He likes to show off his fancy looks to an occasional portraitist just to appease his fashionable nature, and to promote himself in a most practical way. And, perhaps, his light-hearted and flirtatious attitude is the result of wearing those reddish jasper stones. Jasper is known for its ability to absorb negative energy and raise the spirits, and to give strength to its owner - the kind of strength that women like so much in men... Therefore...

All the spider ladies - beware!

The latin name should be:

Iaspis elegans
