Field Notes

Description:

Tiny creme colored jumping spider with red eyes and dark markings on top of head and light colored dots on abdomen. The abdomen is slender and comes to a point at the end.

Habitat:

Tiny creme colored jumping spider with red eyes and dark markings on top of cephalothorax and abdomen

Notes:

You can see how tiny this spider is compared to the fence. Very hard to shoot as it was so fast and jumped all over :)

I've updated this spotting with a few new photo's. I ran into another one that was a bit less "jumpy" :) Any help ID'ing this spider is appreciated.

I know this little spider is hard to see but can anyone ID it beyond a jumping spider?
