Species ID Suggestions

Comments (1)

Probably a type of jumping spider (family Salticidae). Note: A scientific name is a two word name (the first word is the genus, the second is the species name), for instance "Buteo lineatus", or the red-shouldered hawk. The red-shouldered hawk would be the common name, and Buteo lineatus would be the scientific name. There are a number of birds in the genus Buteo, but there is only one Buteo lineatus, if that makes sense. The word "arachnid" is a term used to describe members of the subphylum Chelicerata, so it is not actually any part of a scientific name. If you are unsure of the ID, you can leave it blank, and/or check the "help me ID this species" box. :)
