Philodromus marxi (Keyserling, 1884) - Philodromus marxi - Male
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA

Size: ~2.8 mm
The first of two that came running across the picnic blanket yesterday. Strong iridescent, coppery sheen. This specimen shows less iridescence in the carapace than the second one; determination confirmed by palp.
