Anyone know what this is?







Thanks for all the feedback, from guesses to, "why haven't you squahsed that thing?" to "Why are you sending me pictures of such a creepy thing?"



My friend Christine of Maine, and her son Trevayne, made an early guess and later sent three web pages to confirm it!


Enjoy!


It is a Phidippus audax or the Daring [or Bold] Jumping Spider.
