black salticid jumping spider with white crescent mark on abdomen
hunting in shaded lower grass stalks of a goldenrod meadow, very wary, making direct gaze contact with camera lense
Although this does look similar to Metaphidippus manni, I don't think they are found in the Eastern US. It looks like they are a Western US species. Still searching for possibilities.
