Comments & ID Thoughts

I located silk cases covered in Pennsylvania smartweed (Persicaria pennsylvanica)flower material on PA smartweed. Upon opening a case this spider came out. The spider is slightly larger than a PA smartweed seed- about 5 mm.

There were 1000s of PA smartweed plants in a field in Dyer County, TN. Most cases I looked in didn’t have anything inside but a few had these spiders. After an online search, I came up with no possible ID.

Some kind of jumping spider, potentially a juvenile one. Always a bit of a challenge to id young spiders.
