Comments & ID Thoughts

This little guy was doing laps around my outdoor coffee table. No idea what he is - very leopard looking to me.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This looks like a Western Lynx Spider, Oxyopes scalaris.

That does look close, but mine didn’t have the spiky bits. He did like to raise his front half to look around and when he felt threatened. He is about the size of a dime – i forgot to mention the size. I don’t know if he could jump.

It very likely does have the leg spines but they just aren’t in focus in the image and are difficult to see with the naked eye. They do leap!
