Jumping Spider - Talavera minuta
Copyright © 2010 Dick Walton

Jumping Spider - Talavera minuta
Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
June 14, 2010
Size: tiny!
This is probably the smallest jumper I have encountered. I think it may be Talavera minuta. The spider is on an oak leaf and you can see the central vein of the leaf - giving some idea of the relative size. As there are not many images of this spider here or on the web I'd appreciate opinions and or confirmations of the identity if possible. The images are from video and are a fairly good match for images by Chad Hines at: http://bugguide.net/node/view/408079
