ID this jumping spider?

[Moonkin77]

We saved it's life after finding it floating upside down in my daughter's bubble light. She has a microscope camera that is connected to the puter. It' so cute. I love their eyes

By any chance is that anything like the one I asked about in an earlier thread today? Would appreciate any feedback or comments:

(Sorry, I don't know what kind of jumping spider you've got there.)

Most definitely P. undatus. I had one of these over summer and fall. I found her, nearly drowned, in the bed of my uncle's truck while we were unloading wood in the rain. She was a very active little spider-- but very picky about her food. I let her go in late fall, when small w/c food became too scarce.

These are a fun and interesting spider to keep, if you have a ready source of FFs. They don't like to eat prey larger than themselves, which is odd for a jumper!

Good luck!
