This might be a Bold Jumping Spider, Phiddipus audax. On their upperside there is a orange or white heart-shaped mark. The mark changes color as they mature. They have shiny blue-green chelacerae. The chelacerae are the muscular parts that house the fangs and venom ducts. Jumping Spiders are popular pets because they are cute (look at social media photos) and not dangerous and they’re curious and playful. They’ll chase the dot of a laser pointer and chase a cursor on a digital screen. There’s probably many more activities you can do with jumping spiders online.
Its very Blurry but its definitely a Regal Jumping Spider (Phidippus regius) The reason I think its regius and not audax is its taken in Florida but I could be wrong.
