I found this little one on the siding of my house in State College, PA (right in the middle of the state). This was the biggest, and fattest one that I found (I'm thinking probably female, possibly gravid). Just wondering if I can get an ID on her. She's about 1/4". Thanks in advance.

For size reference:

We have TONS of those goofy things on the sides of our house. It's a lot of fun watching them pounce on the tiny little fly things that eddy in the rays of sunlight. It's always them and some crab spiders hunting the same thing in the same general areas. Beautiful, spazzy, tiny jumpers. :D

I seem to have these jumpers and E. militaris, as well as a species of those bronze jumpers.
