Thanks Shanna.. I will ask Martin about that..
You're right Christiane, I think they're all the same type of spider. My first one, IDd as Salticid Ant Eater Spider, has the banded abdomen and all-red legs (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10287503). My second one has no band and red feet (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10333665), and yours has the band and red feet. Perhaps the differences are due to age or male/female.
Hi Argybee.. I think it looks more like.. "DON'T TAKE MY LUNCH!"
Good catch Christiane. Well done... and that spider is trying to look so innocent.
