Finally got a picture of this cool dude! He lives in a swing set and I see him from time to time but he's just so fast!

It’s hard to tell from this angle. But you’re right, it’s a Phidippus audax most likely, or a regal jumping spider. It’s hard to tell from a front view, so someone better than me could probably find it.
Also, nice photo! Really good detail.
Thanks! I’ve been seeing this one around but it’s so fast I was glad to finally snap a photo.
What are you using for a camera? Your photos are perfect!
Thanks!! Sometimes it takes a couple tries. I use the Panasonic lumix fz80, it has a decent macro mode but it doesn’t do well in low lighting which can be a little frustrating. Cool zoom function too, I got some pictures of birds with it.
