Jumping Spider

Phidippus audax

Notes:

Very small, and would posture at me with a raised head so that those blue fangs would be displayed. At least, I'm assuming they are fangs but perhaps not?

Chelicerae is the real name of the mouth parts we call fangs; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelicerae but iridescent fangs sounds cool :)
