This looks like one of the jumping spider varieties…they are very beneficial. I get them coming into the house this time of year — when it starts to get cooler. I just capture them carefully and re-place them outside away from the doors. They are extremely helpful in the garden controlling pests.
They’ll protect my succulents then! Thank you for the input!
Gladly. They come in so many pretty colors. I enjoy watching the large black ones go after bugs etc in the summer. Happy holiday season.
I think that this is a female canopy jumping spider, phidippus otiosus.
