d'Urville's Jumping Spider

[Ironwood]

Going through all my ID guides, the best I can ID this one is a d'Urville's Jumping Spider, a few others look close but this is the closest I could find.

[Alan]

Interesting name. I wonder if it was the same d'Urville who named the Adele penguin after his wife

Possibly it is Alan. The name that is listed with the spider is Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville (23 May 1790 - 8 May 1842).
The name in your Penguin link is Dumont d'Urville.

With eyes in the back of his head! Good shot.

Cheers Isac and Greg.
Its fascinating to think how they interpret what they see with all those eyes
