Large jumping spider - Eris militaris
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, USA
September 2, 2013
Size: About 1 cm
Back in fall of 2013, I was driving back home from Lancaster when I felt something moving around on my arm. Looking down, I saw that this little fellow had hitched a ride. I was able to get a couple decent photos with my cell phone before it escaped into the garden.
