    One of the jumping spiders, a really good spider to have in the garden as they go hunting and searching for bugs instead of making a web and just waiting for bugs, usually flying ones, to get trapped. Not harmful to yoy. In fact you can dance with it. Just point your finger at it and when you get close enough it will raise its two front legs, point them at you and as you move your finger it will keep moving so as to keep them pointed at you . It amy even jump at you or away, up to 50 times its length. You can use a pencil instead of a finger but that jump will still make you jump too! If you leap 50 times your own length call the olympic committee.
