Spider ID ? - Oxyopes salticus
Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, USA
April 12, 2008
I found about a half dozen of these sitting still among certain plants, facing in towards the vegetation. I don't think they are jumping spiders but I could be wrong. The eyes don't seem right, the legs and hair don't either and they weren't roaming about like typical jumping spiders.

But maybe they are just a very immature version of Maevia which are known to exist in the area. But the stripes don't coincide with Maevia colors either.

They did not have any webs either. Again, were just sitting at various spots among the vegetation.

Any ideas ?
