Have no idea what type of spider this is. I was sitting on the deck and it walked right past my coffee mug.

Looks like a Johnson jumping spider, also known as a red-backed jumping spider, and a male too. Harmless little fellows that mimic velvet ants for safety.
The females have a black stripe down the middle of their abdomen. I find these spiders really cute
