Found this little oddity on the Oregon coast, Tunnel Beach to be exact. It moves like a Salticidae, it definitely jumps, but it can't climb smooth surfaces, doesn't react to the flashlight like others I've kept, and spazzes out if you try to hold it. It definitely webs, the rock in the catch cup it was in had sandy web all over it already after only a few days. It's smaller than 1cm.

Pics are bad, I can try to get a better one with my son's phone if needed. I made it a cute house, it's huge in comparison but how often do I get to make a beach themed spider enclosure. The rocks and sand were collected from the same beach.

Thank you, looks like it probably is. It already figured out how to climb the walls with web so now I'm going to have put it in something with smaller vents. I hope I can get it to eat, looks like they eat mites primarily.
