Jumping Spider

Pretend you saw this yesterday. This guy is living in a mason jar in my kitchen. I caught it in my mother's car after some finagling. On the way back from the Stone Zoo it decided to come out from under my car seat. It was a bit cold, and I hate to release critters where they didn't come from, so it now lives on pinhead crickets. It certainly seems happy and loves its crickets. No idea on species, as these guys all look rather alike if you don't have a microscope. Its back is black, with bright orange spots on the abdomen.
