This is basically the best angle shot I got of this jumper. She kept turning to stare directly at me every time I took a picture, so it made it difficult.
Sorry it's not as good as the others and the more forward legs are out of the depth of field.
I posted this one mostly because
kuisbright asked if she had eyes in the back of her head. Well, she kind of does and you can see it better here.
You'll find this eye configuration on many species of Jumping Spider. They're known for their keen eyesight and I'd imagine it helps to have a wide field of view when you have to actively hunt your prey.
I also like this pic because it makes it look like the long hairs on top of her head are causing a bad hair day.

I tend to assume a spider is female, unless I see massive palps on the end of its pedilaps. Then I know it's a male.
Some species are easier though, as they exhibit great sexual dimorphism.
Magnolia Green Jumpers for examples have a male with incredibly large chelicerae.
Even easier are spiders like the Golden Silk Orb Weaver, where the female is massive (5 inch legspan in some cases) and the male is super tiny (A few cm at most).
