Salticidae, Dendryphantinae, Phidippus sp. and looks like being a female Phidippus otiosus.

Hi Clarissa, this actually looks like a female Jumping Spider (Family Salticidae) though the images aren't very clear. The color pattern is not consistent with any Velvet Ants in North America (that I am aware of currently).
Here is place you can look: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1962/bgpag...
