Help Identifying Jumper

[LadyShia77]

Hello again. I have a little jumper I acquired from the side of my outdoor storage building around the end of summer. She was a juvenile of a greenish brown color when I found her and she looks to have recently become a mature female. I've been trying to figure out what kind she is. I'm alomst leaning towards either an emerald jumper or a putnami, although, her coloration and markings are different from the putnami female I have. Hopefully, the pictures are clear enough to be able to identify her. She was doing her rounds in her enclosure and my camera isn't the best lol. Let me know what you guys think.

@LadyShia77 You have a wonderful resource worth employing. https://auth1.dpr.ncparks.gov/nrid/public.php
@Ungoliant You might consider adding that web page to your Spider ID Resources thread. Someone took an extraordinary amount of trouble putting that web site.together.

It's a very nice site. Unfortunately, it looks fairly new and my spood isn't showing in the pictures for the parks near me. Mostly fishing spiders, lynx spiders, and orb weavers with a few others.

Go sleuthing. Head over to bug guide and go over their pictures, find ones that come close then check out if they are in your area. You may make a discovery which that web site should incorporate if confirmed. (Cross reference analysis).


A little FYI. All the data found on that web site had to come from somewhere. It's a very small leap from gleaning info to contributing. Do an analysis of the location the animal was found and the possibility it was a transient. As example, near an interstate transit point or way out in the woods. Then find more specimens, note the location and general info and submit it. You cross the line and have become one of the info providers those sites depend upon.
Get used to going the extra few steps and it becomes natural. I. and many others like me, have contributed countless additional bits of scientific info over the years.

I recommend iNaturalist. It will identify it as a Salticid and probably recommend species located in your area. There will inevitably be a jumping spider nerd in your area who will help with an ID.

I'm still having trouble finding out what my little spood is. I'm thinking perhaps a phidippus princeps, but not 100%.
