Forgot that you will always see the message and the title on this web site. I am used to putting (n/t)= "No Text" in the title when there is no additional text in the message, so that it is unnecessary to click on the title line to read the message.

ID
It's a very familiar Metaphidippus; I have the vague recollection that this is one of the ones where the male and female are quite different in color/pattern, but I can't put a finger on the name just now. The 'w' patterns are pretty diagnostic as I recall.
