I don't have any ID suggestions for this bug
What is its scientific name?
Hi brantweindorf, neat find! This is a species of Jumping Spider, Family Salticidae. These cool spiders don't spin webs, instead they hunt their prey. They are fairly small spiders compared to some. The juveniles are tiny. There are a lot of different species in this family so it might be hard to find the ID of this one but here is a link that might help: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1962/bgpage Here is one possibility: http://bugguide.net/node/view/37825 Hope this helps!
