This is not a Johnsoni, this is a male Phidippus adumbratus

It is very interesting, I hope to see one!

Apparently they are pretty common here, but I have to be honest, I had never noticed one before. This one had a home at a park table and we got to see it jumping.

That is an interesting looking spider, nothing like that where we live!
