Thank you so much Cindy for the generic identification, I don't see a species that is similar either. Thank you Gilma, your photo series is wonderful!

Beautiful! I believe this is Paraphidippus sp but I'm unsure which. It's similar to our P. aurantius but the third bar on the abdomen of yours doesn't meet up with the spot on the side.
