Cropped
I have cropped the image so the specimen is more visable.

We agree with your ID
Since the three images are so similar and there are so many submissions of this spider on BugGuide, we suggest you pick out the best one to keep here (this one?) and move the other two to Frass. They are just not different enough. We might also suggest that since the plants in this image really don't add that much, you should probably crop this image. No need to resubmit it. Just click on this page after you have cropped the image. click on the EDIT tab, and where it says image, just replace this current one with the new cropped image. Thanks for submitting.
