Salticus scenicus - Zebra Spider
Looks like the Zebra jumping spider. They're tiny and cute!

Salticus scenicus - Zebra Spider
Thanks for your comment. I checked out the other photos here at BugGuide that are labeled "Salticus scenicus" and a couple of them seem identical with this one while one that looks slightly different is labeled as a "female". Do you know if that might indicate that this one is a male?

Female
This is a female. The males have extremely long chelicerae and fangs that extend forward from the carapace at about 45 degrees. The palps are even longer, and are usually draped over the top of the chelicerae.

How about male...
Let me try to pull my head out of my rear for a second.

This is a subadult male. The last picture in this series very clearly shows the developing genitalia that will be exposed after his next molt.

Very sorry about that. I don't know how I could have missed it the first time around.
