Platycryptus male eyes

Original - This jumping spider's main ocelli (center pair) are very acute. The outer pair are "secondary eyes" and there are other pairs of secondary eyes on the sides and top of its head.

Beautiful. The green of the eyes is contrasted with the orange and white "fur". Does not appear to be false-colored. This side of the head is nicely focused. I'm unsure whether the photographer is actually visible in the eye reflections; if so then it's really hard to see. Nicely illustrates the subject as a soulless killing machine.

• The file is too small and doesn't meet the criteria for FPC. It might work for VPC though. ZooFari 23:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

• I think that although the picture is rather small it quite attractive. Maybe there are other better closeups of the eyes of spiders in wikipedia (I haven't seen them) but if not I do recommend this to be nominated. I'm sure it will get many clicks in the main page.Frank cheValier on a Pc (talk) 23:51, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
