Spidey wants to give you a hug!
This male jumping spider (family Salticidae) was performing his "courtship dance" for a nearby female. It didn't turn out too well, as the female quickly darted away after the male made a few attempts at copulating.
After battling with finding the ID, I got it down to genus: Lyssomanes.

Knowing spiders, I think the girl running from him was the better turn of events for him.
Wow, look at this guy though! Those fangs are as elegant as mammoth tusks! Kind of reminds me of that elephant skull the hyenas in The Lion King came out of. Really cool with his brightly coloured head and eyes, this sure is the decorative creature! Quite drawn out for a jumper though. Great photo!
