Spider? What is this thing? Sorry it's not clearer. I shake too bad when it's hot out and couldn't get a clearer pic

I don't really know the proper name of the spider, but we always called them "jumping" spiders
If you put a stick in front of it you would know why LOL!
They jump

That's all I've ever hear them called too, just jumping spiders.

Well, he didnt' jump, but was crawling behind the 'J' channel of the siding when I opened or closed the slider door. Just a buggy world lately
I guess that's good, means I keep a pretty good yard for them all hey?

It says they bite, but I never knew anyone who got bit by one. But then again I don't hold spiders

Good to know! Thanks~ I know daddy-long-legs bite too, b/c I was bitten at 14 or so while camping, but we used to catch them as kids and watch them crawl up our arms and stuff, on dares!
