Any idea what this one is? It jumps really far. and had iridescent green eyes. I tried to pick it up with a piece of paper and it put its front legs up in the air.
This is a Jumping Spider in the family Salticidae. Without a location, we will not even attempt to identify the species.

As far as I can tell it most closely resembles P. clarus, or possibly P. johnsoni. There is quite a bit of variability within all the species and I haven’t been able to find a pattern that looks exactly like the one in this photo. K
