Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

It’s a jumping spider, bright blue green on head (eyes I think) and orange on abdomen. Very black color. About 3/8 inch diameter. Jumped onto me as I was sitting by pool in St John. Colors looked fluorescent. I’m also posting a second picture of same spider.

I filmed (video) this spider many years ago while spider hunting on St. John VI. It’s quite a gem! I believe it is from the Genus Corythalia, exact species I am not sure.
