Tiny spider in weeds - Oxyopes salticus
Herndon, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
August 23, 2006
I don't know if this photo has enough detail to ID this little spider. I caught this shot as it was running for cover in this weed. I thought it was a basilica spider like a lot of the ones I see around my yard, but when I saw the photo, I could tell it's not. Can anyone tell what it is from this shot?

That was fast -
thank you! This is now the first Lynx I have knowingly seen. =) I'll keep an eye out for more!
