Jumping Spider - Phidippus mystaceus
Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
February 15, 2009
Size: 6mm (1/4")
I found it encased in web (shown here) on the underside of a rock.
I believe it is Phidippus mystaceus.
I'm not sure why the top of it's head is wet but....bad hair day....

Please help with ID.
