Comments & ID Thoughts
Very likely to be a zebra jumping spider (salticus scenicus). It was fairly small and was found on our porch door. It's awfully humid where we live right now, seeing as it recently rained, so there's a lot of bug activity. It had bold white stripes on light brown body with noticeable brown and Grey stripes and spots.

It could also be a high lashed jumping spider (phidippus mystaceus). Both species closely resemble it. I did not notice the striking lashes on it though, so I’m leaning more towards a zebra jumper. Hope this helps!
