Hi, this is a Jumping Spider (Salticidae), looks like one in the genus Habronattus. Here is one similar (Habronattus signatus): https://bugguide.net/node/view/890434/bgimage
Sure enough that looks like the little jumper pictured here. Thanks for the quick ID, have not seen one like it on this site yet. Dug it up out of the archives to post.
Thanks, it’s not one I’m familiar with yet. It might be the same species as the one I linked to but I’d need to do some research to be sure it’s not the only white one in range. I filed your Western Spotted Orb-weavers.
