Hello! Was wondering if anyone could identify specifically what type of jumping spider this little dude is. I'm assuming its a male?

Different jumping spiders are located regionally so depending on your location can narrow down your options. Some of them do look similar. There's over 4,000 species worldwide and over 300 in North America alone.

Almost looks like a female regal jumping spider to me but I don't know 100%. It will depend on location

Sorry, I am in the Philadelphia area! I was thinking it was a flea jumping spider?

Are you in the Philadelphia area?
Yes, sorry for not including that.

Wow it does resemble a flea jumping spider. They look really cool are those pretty common in your area?

It doesn’t really look like Naphrys pulex. My guess would be Attulus fasciger. It is native to that area. But I’m not sure, because of its darker color

Naphrys pulex:

I think it’s Pseudeuophrys erratica.
(Definitely not Attulus fasciger, as I had suggested. I was not very good at identifying back then.)

My guess would be Pseudeuophrys sp. I find it so hard to identify jumping spiders that look like that. A lot of species look very similar.

There is only one other (common) Pseudeuophrys species in America and that is Pseudeuophrys lanigera, which is outside of the range suggested by the OP. So if it is a Pseudeuophrys species, it would most likely be erratica. 😊
