Hoppy - Philodromus

Hoppy - Philodromus
Delta, British Columbia, Canada
January 6, 2012
Size: 1.5 cm, toe to toe
I have photos of this spider from October of 2011 to today. She lives in a glass box on my desk. She doesn't make a web, but hunts by feel; when a sufficiently big insect or spider touches her leg, she leaps on him. Otherwise, she doesn't seem to see them.
