What is this spider? I’m dying to know. Please comment and tell me!

Thanks! My pleasure. 🙂 I love the gold coloration mixed in with the black.
I just looked through your other photos, they’re wonderful!!! How did you get interested in loving and photographing spiders?
Thanks for taking the time to look at and appreciate my collection. 🙂 I got interested in spiders when I captured a bold jumper and noticed how beautiful it was and how responsive it was to me.
