At least I think it's a jumping spider... I can notice two large eyes at the front and fluffy white pedipalps. I don't know much about them so any help is appreciated! I like in Northern California, USA.

Here's a 5 second video:

It's hard to get a photo since my camera isn't very good at capturing anything tiny but here's a screenshot:

My mini micro-camera can only take photos up against something so here's the underside:

Thanks in advance!

If it's jumping around your container, I'm guessing it's some species of jumping spider. If it just walks everywhere, it's probably something else. I would say a jumper just by the looks of it though:).

Nice jumper, though I'm not sure what species it is. I'll have to research the west coast species thoroughly

It sure looks like a Menemerus semilimbatus, and such a cute little hoppy it is!
