Hi....I caught these guys out on my balcony, but am having trouble with the ID. I live in central Iowa and found them on the screen door to my balcony. I think they may be a species of jumping spider since they can "hop", but I am just not sure...Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!

They're difinately jumpers (Salticidae), but that only narrows it down to 5,000 or so species :p

Perhaps someone else could suggest a genus.
