Myakka, Sarasota County, Florida, USA

I believe this is a jumping spider. I found him in a cow skull. I also found one in a bird skull the following weekend. Both were found in the wood of Myakka, FL.

A Spider Named Sue
Don,
Thanks for the conformation my daughter has named her Sue and she will be staying with us for a couple of days. She seams to eat well and is very interesting to watch.
