It’s a great photo, but the second-place jumping spider is my favorite: it is just so adorable.

The parasitoid wasp doing its little dance move [1] gave me a chuckle.

It is! What are the little balls, are they pollen?

Yes, the title of the photo is “Jumping spider (Salticus scenicus) with pollen”

		Hah, ok, totally missed that, thank you. But it seemed an obvious candidate, they reminded me of those clingy balls that come off some plants so I figured they must be something like that.
