I’m pretty sure that’s a jumping Wolf Spider
What is a jumping wolf spider?
Moving on…I’m pretty sure that it is a zebra jumper. It has many common names. The binomial name is Salticus scenicus. Their patterns vary within the species.
I also would think that, except that Costa Rica does not appear to be in its geographic range. Probably the same genus though.
