Hungry Salticid - dorsal

Hungry Salticid - dorsal
McKinney Roughs Nature Park, Bastrop County, Texas, USA
August 31, 2010
Size: 4.3mm
I collected this immature Salticid a month ago and have not been able to get it to eat. It won't touch pinhead crickets, fruit flies, or leaf hoppers. Any idea who it is and what I might try feeding it? Or how I might otherwise arrange for it to feed? It's drinking, though. I don't know what I collected it on, but it was probably a sweep of meadow.

Moved
Moved from Dendryphantinae. Taxonomic changes have eliminated this subfamily; this is just a housekeeping move.

Moved to subfamily for now
Moved from Jumping Spiders. This may be a female Pelegrina also so I'm moving it here for now.

How about
Phidippus arizonensis?

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

house fly ?
It might be large for this spider, but worth a try. Also, how about springtails?
