Phidippus otiosus?
Yes. Thank you. That is a good ID. We were impressed by the green chelicerae (neither heard or seen of such). I was only able to upload one picture per submission, so I made two submissions. One shows mouth and other the dorsal view.
Great photos! Thank you for submitting both angles. Yes, that is the way to get around the one photo per submission programming this site has. Right now we aren’t able to make changes to how the site functions. Some other Jumping Spider species have bright colors and iridescence. That effect is created by many densely packed tiny flat hairs. Phiddipus audax is a common North American Jumper with similar chelacerae. India, in particular has gorgeous spiders. You can see our photos by location in the (three bar symbol) menu.
