Comments & ID Thoughts
This is a cute little jumping spider I found in the backyard (North Ogden, Utah). I think it's a baby, so I'm not sure what it would look like as a mature adult. It kind of reminds me of the Bold Jumper I have, before she shed her skin and matured into the standard black color. But I'm not positive it is a baby bold jumper. Any ideas?

Salticidae for certain. Possibly a Regal Jumping Spider. The species has quite a variety of pattern and hue, so I am not 100%.
