Comments & ID Thoughts

We are in Berlin, Germany. Never seen this one before. It's somewhere between 5mm-8mm long, it can jump quite quickly and for long distances (around 10cm). It also emits web, either to haul itself places, or to build a nesting place (like a type of home, I haven't seen it build a flat web). I found it crawling on my kids' buggy once we got home, so it likely came from outdoors. Right now it's in a glass container (with air-flow and plants). It doesn't seem interested in same-size bugs I place in there, tho' maybe they are too big for it to hunt. I'll set it free once we ID it.

Any chance it could be a juvenile Salticus scenicus, the Zebra Jumper? It seems pretty translucent for an adult spider.
