Hello everyone, my name is Tycho.
I caught a jumping spider, and want to know which genus, etc it is.

I hope anyone can make out what it is...
i put her in a old cricket box with some normal dirt from a store, with a bit of coark, so it can climb around. this will do right? i previously had her in a small vial but felt like she would't have enough space to jump around. i will feed her flightles fruitflies, this will do right? i will spray a tiny amount of water in there every time it rains around here so it will be like she's in an actual natural enviroment.
this will do right?
thanks in advance.

I will need a much better pic for id as salticids can be tricky
Your setup seems fine though

it's quite interesting to me to find it here in holland too. seems like they tend to live more in germany and romania. to find it in Holland really shows how species keep traveling to new places.

they apparently get 5mm as female or 2-3 as male, so they get quite big as far as im concerned. im not an expert, but still pretty big right?

I can say with confidance that they might look similar, mine definitly is a p.lanigera since it has that brown/yellowish stripe type pattern on her back.

if i'm lucky and it's a female, mine would get 5mm so im pretty stocked. anyone know where i can find more? i heard the salticus scenicus tend to live in cracks from walls on houses. they're a beautifull species too.
