Phidippus putnami
Valley Forge National Historical Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 30, 2014
Size: Maybe around 4 mm?
These images were shot during their Bug BioBlitz with the The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, where I was doing the spider IDs. (They could do better)
Anyway, that is why I'm looking for confirmations. :-)

Maybe Phidippus putnami?

Phidippus
Looks like P. putnami, but I'd like to see the mid-ocular tufts to be sure. Do you have any images that clearly show the tufts on the top of the carapace? I've been rearing some P. putnami from 2nd instars since October of last year, and this looks just like the spiderlings that I've raised. It'd be nice to rule out any other possible species by seeing the mid-ocular tufts above the anterior median eyes.

I added one more, but it doesn't show much "clearly".

P. putnami
John, in my opinion, it's safe to move these to P. putnami. I don't see any other possibilities.

Moved for the experts
Moved from Spiders. I think this is a Phidippus too.
