Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Despite not jumping this is a Jumping Spider (Salticidae). I’m not sure which genus/species though I think I’ve come across one like it in a search before so I’m hopeful the ID will eventually be narrowed down further.
So not all Jumping spiders jump? This doesnt have big eyes unlike jumping spiders I am about to let it go since I cant figure out what it eats so further observations will just make this spider starve to death
You would need to take a shot of the front of the spider’s face to see the big goggle eyes. I wouldn’t know about the jumping habits of this one, maybe it just didn’t want to jump. Species the genus Rhene have similar body proportions to this one but I don’t know if it’s one of those or just similar.
