Description

The spider has a large red abdomen and black body. It's chelicerae were iridescent green.The body was 1 cm in length which is appropriate for this species.
Spider was moving along a wall, not on a web, which is a behavior indicative of jumping spiders.
Spider did not appear to be of a body form which would cause it to be linked to web-spinning spiders. The distinctive red abdomen is very different from another jumping spider species we observed at the same site.
