Jumping spiders are so cute. With their large central eyes they give the appearance of being cuddly. However, jumping spiders are voracious hunters. They lie in wait for a hapless prey to wander by and then they pounce with lightning speed. In this video vignette we see the more cuddly and cute side of this brown and white jumping spider as he starts to move around after resting on a dewy morning in West Virginia.

Really awesome jumper. I haven't seen this one yet while looking for jumpers. The main ones I keep finding are Platycryptus Undatus and Phiddipus Audax. I have some other species that I don't know what it is that lives in my apartment.
